This striking French Art Deco ceramic sculpture depicts a powerful black bear and was designed by Desbarbieux for the Saint-Clément manufactory in France during the 1920s. Combining a bold silhouette with carefully modeled details, the piece reflects the strong interest in stylized animal sculpture that characterized French decorative arts between the wars. The bear is presented in a long, low profile, giving the sculpture a dynamic and sculptural presence. Its deep black ceramic surface is enhanced by subtle bronze-green patination applied within the recessed areas of the eyes, ears, mouth, and signature. These carefully placed accents add depth, contrast, and visual richness while emphasizing the animal’s expressive features. Measuring 18.5 inches (47 cm) in width, 13.8 inches (35 cm) in height, and 4.5 inches (11.5 cm) in depth, this substantial ceramic sculpture is ideal for display on a console, mantel, sideboard, bookshelf, or pedestal. Its elegant proportions allow it to complement Art Deco, modernist, traditional, eclectic, or contemporary interiors. The sculpture bears the artist’s name, “Desbarbieux,” within the mold and is stamped “St Clément Made in France” on the interior, confirming its authorship and French manufacture. The Saint-Clément pottery, located in northeastern France, is well known for its decorative ceramics and artistic production. This rare 1920s French Art Deco bear sculpture...
