About the Item

Rare and large French Art Deco Terracotta Sculpture by Polbert, France, 1920s. "Lady with a Greyhound". This stunning large French Art Deco terracotta sculpture by Pierre Polbert captures the elegance and sophistication of the 1920s. Featuring a graceful lady with a greyhound, this remarkable piece showcases Polbert's signature style of blending modernist forms with timeless beauty. The sculpture is beautifully crafted from terracotta, with vibrant cover and exquisite detailing that highlights the smooth, flowing lines typical of Art Deco design. Dimensions: Width: 26.8" (68 cm) Height: 17.1" (43.5 cm) Depth: 4.5" (11.5 cm) Signed "Polbert" on the base (see photo), this rare, even more in this size, and collectible sculpture epitomizes the elegance and luxury of the period. It is an exceptional example of French Art Deco, perfect for any high-end collection or gallery space. Pierre Polbert (early 20th century) was a French sculptor known for his distinctive ceramic sculptures, often associated with the Art Deco movement. His work primarily consisted of elegant, stylized depictions of women and animals, reflecting the era's fascination with grace, modernity, and luxury. Polbert's sculptures, typically made of glazed ceramic, illustrate his ability to blend complex colors with fluid forms. His most notable pieces include depictions of women in harmonious interaction with animals such as gazelles, greyhounds, deer, and other graceful creatures. These sculptures were often made of terracotta or faience, a type of glazed pottery, and feature the colors and stylized forms characteristic of the Art Deco period. Although many of Polbert's works are unsigned, they are highly sought after by collectors for their exceptional craftsmanship and rarity, but it is rare to find one bearing his full signature. As a result, his works are often recognized by their distinctive style rather than explicit signatures. Polbert's creations are considered quality collector's items, particularly for those interested in Art Deco ceramics.
