Raymond Rivoire
“Femme Au Levrier” Art Deco Statue Bust by Raymond Leon Rivoire Sevres France

1937

About the Item

“Femme au Levrier” Art Deco statue bust by Raymond Leon Rivoire Sevres France circa 1937. This is a rare and important bust from the iconic Art Deco sculpture Raymond Rivoire. It was the First time I had seen this piece. It was manufactured by the famous Sevres company, stamped on the back, and signed R. Rivoire on the lower part of the bust. This piece fascinates me; we have sold the bronze statue a few times, and it is one of our favorites. He made a bronze for the Normandie liner representing Neptune pulled by a marine horse (disappeared in the ship's fire in New York in 1942), a second copy of which still adorns a fountain in Cannes. Another of his major works is Diana and the Greyhound, also known as Artemis. Like Normandy, a monumental copy of this statue was crowned in the living room of the ocean liner L’Atlantique. Scattered memories of the work that followed this fire were found during the demolition. Drawings can be found in several museums (Louvre Museum, Newark Museum (New Jersey, United States), and the Cusset Museum, which houses many of its productions. For the past 15 years, I've been a 1stDibs Furniture dealer with Platinum status. We've always sold fine art on this “furniture" platform and have recently started selling our Art Deco Fine Art here on 1stDibs in addition to our Furniture platform.

  • Earth, Ceramic Figural Female Head by Cleveland School Artist
    Located in Beachwood, OH
    Edris Eckhardt (American, 1905-1998) Earth, c. 1939 Signed on base Glazed earthenware 20.5 x 7.5 x 7 inches Born in Cleveland, Ohio January 28, 1905, Edris was given the name Edythe Aline Eckhardt. After graduating from Cleveland's East High she enrolled in the painting program at Cleveland School of Art. While enrolled in school she worked part-time at Cowan Pottery where she learned production techniques and firing schedules of various ceramic materials. She switched her choice of study at CIA to sculpture and graduated from Cleveland's School of Art in 1932. Edythe changed her name to the non-gender-specific name Edris in her mid-twenties after being passed over for an award to study sculpture in Europe for one year. Following graduation Edris studied sculpture with Alexander Archipenko in Woodstock, New York. She returned to Cleveland that same year. She was hired as a faculty member of Cleveland School and taught at the institution for 30 years. From 1935-1942 Ms. Eckhardt was the head of the Ceramics and Sculpture division of the Federal Art Project (later known as Works Progress Administration - WPA) of Cleveland. During this time frame she won first prize of the 1936 Cleveland Museum of Art May Show for her Alice in Wonderland figure, third Prize in the 1937 May Show for a Song of the South...

  • Golf (Wall Plaque)
    By Viktor Schreckengost
    Located in Fairlawn, OH
    Golf (Wall Plaque) Polychromed ceramic, c. 1930-1 Signed with the artist's initials: VS recto Very rare, only a few produced prior to the closure of Cowan Pottery Format: Round ceramic plate, 11 1/4 inches Designed by the artist while working for Cowan Pottery in 1930. One of Cowan's clients, an interior designer, requested plates decorated with different outdoor activities. Others in the series included "Swimming," "Tennis," "Polo," and "The Hunt." According to Henry Adams, the number of examples created was very limited due to the closing of Cowan Pottery in 1931. Very rare Condition: Good, with the usual craquelure of the glazes used. Note: Industrial design democratizes high style, and Mr. Schreckengost was widely considered among the most democratic industrial designers. He made, quite literally, the stuff of life — things found routinely in homes, backyards and garages in this country and around the world. He designed bicycles for Sears and everyday china for American Limoges. He designed children’s toys and pedal cars; flashlights, furniture and fans; lawn chairs, lawn mowers and golf carts; baby walkers and artificial limbs. In 2006 Mr. Schreckengost was awarded the National Medal of Arts, the country’s highest cultural honor. His work is in the permanent collection of major museums, including the Renwick Gallery, the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum and the Art Institute of Chicago. Mr. Schreckengost belonged to the first great generation of American industrial designers, which included luminaries like Russel Wright, Norman Bel Geddes and Raymond Loewy. The lights of New York...
