A refined example of French Art Deco sculpture, this elegant terracotta bust by Jean-Charles Guéro was created in France during the 1920s. Depicting a graceful young woman with beautifully stylized features, the sculpture embodies the timeless elegance, balance, and modern refinement that define the finest French decorative arts of the Art Deco era.

Expertly modeled in terracotta, the bust reveals the artist’s sensitivity to form through its flowing lines, delicate facial expression, and harmonious proportions. The warm natural color and finely textured surface enhance its sculptural presence, making it equally suitable for a sophisticated interior or an important Art Deco collection. Measuring 14.4 inches high (36.5 cm), 12.2 inches wide (31 cm), and 7.1 inches deep (18 cm), this sculpture offers an ideal display size for a console, pedestal, library, or mantel.

A rare and highly evocative European memento mori terracotta sculpture depicting a human skull resting upon a rocky outcrop, entwined with serpents and surmounted by a distinctive lock of hair. Dating from the late 17th to early 18th century, the piece is likely of German origin. Beautifully modelled and painted in naturalistic tones, the skull is rendered in warm earthy hues, contrasting with the dark green serpents that coil through and around the cranium. The rocky base is finished in rich brown tones, enhancing the sculpture's dramatic presence and symbolic depth. Memento mori, Latin for “remember that you must die,” was a powerful artistic and philosophical motif throughout Europe, serving as a reminder of the transience of earthly life and the certainty of mortality. Here, the skull embodies death, decay, and the fleeting nature of human existence, while the entwined serpents symbolise transformation, renewal, healing, and the eternal cycle of life. Together they create a compelling allegory of mortality and rebirth, where death itself becomes a gateway to regeneration. A striking and unusual example of early European memento mori art...

Large French Art Deco Terracotta Sculpture by Ugo Cipriani (1887–1960), France 1920. An exceptional large-scale French Art Deco terracotta sculpture by renowned Italian-born sculptor Ugo Cipriani (1887–1960), depicting a graceful nude female figure in a dynamic kneeling pose. Rich in movement and emotion, this striking work perfectly captures the elegance, sensuality, and modernity that define the Art Deco period. Executed in terracotta, the sculpture displays warm natural tones and finely modeled anatomical details, highlighting Cipriani’s remarkable ability to convey both strength and femininity. The dramatic upward gaze and fluid composition create a powerful visual presence, making this piece an outstanding focal point for an Art Deco interior, sculpture collection, or curated design space. The sculpture is signed "U. Cipriani" on the base, confirming its authenticity. Dimensions: Height: 24 in (61 cm) Width: 20.9 in (53 cm) Depth: 7.5 in (19 cm) Born in Florence, Ugo Cipriani studied at the Florence Academy of Fine Arts and became known for his mastery of marble, bronze, alabaster, and terracotta. The son of sculptor Adolfo Cipriani, he developed a distinctive style influenced by the refined geometry and decorative elegance of the 1920s and 1930s. Among his notable achievements is the 1919 bronze monument dedicated to Guglielmo Oberdan in Florence. In 1935, Cipriani relocated to Paris as a political refugee, leaving Fascist Italy behind. He continued his artistic career in France, where he remained active until his death in 1960. A rare and highly decorative example of French Art Deco sculpture, this authentic Ugo Cipriani terracotta...
