French Art Deco Period Lion Sculptures

About the Item

Pair of sculptures from the Art Deco period in France. Each is sculpted into the shape of a lion, featuring one outstretched paw on a ball and supported by a base. These sculptures are made of reconstituted stone. Reconstituted stone; also known as engineered stone, is much lighter than natural stone. First discovered in ancient Rome, reconstituted stone is historically used in gardens throughout Europe. This pair features the original patina to the light colored finish. They are in excellent vintage condition – the photos accurately depict the condition. Symbolizing a time of great change worldwide, Art Deco, short for Arts Décoratifs, is often synonymous with bold, geometric architecture and luxurious, extravagant graphics as well as rich colors and decadent detail work. Ultimately, the Art Deco style is a pastiche of many styles, all coming together in a desire for modernism. Spanning from the beginning of World War I to the beginning of World War II, the style affected design, both commercial and independent, on a massive scale and continues to be seen in fashion, jewelry, and furniture today. There were many influences, from the geometric forms of Cubism, bright colors of Fauvism, the craftsmanship of Louis XVI, and the exotic influences of Asian and Egyptian art.
