Sculptural Bronze Paperweight by Monique Gerber, France, Circa 1970

About the Item

A refined and sculptural bronze paperweight or ashtray by the French artist Monique Gerber, dating from circa 1970. Elegantly modeled in the form of a single marguerite (daisy) petal, this work exemplifies Gerber’s distinctive approach to organic form and decorative modernism. The piece is distinguished by its exceptional, deeply nuanced patina, developed over time and lending remarkable depth and warmth to the bronze. The subtle modeling of the petal’s contours captures light beautifully, enhancing its tactile and sculptural presence. Both functional and poetic, this object transcends its utilitarian purpose, standing as a small-scale sculpture suitable for a refined desk, table, or curated interior. The bronze is signed “MG” in a large, expressive script, a clear and confident mark consistent with Monique Gerber’s authenticated works. A classic and highly desirable example of French decorative bronze of the late 20th century, reflecting the era’s fascination with nature-inspired forms, artisanal craftsmanship, and timeless elegance.
