Rare Art Deco Glazed Porcelain Sculpture c1930 by August Wilhelm Goebel, Signed

About the Item

Pure, sculptural and timeless. This extraordinary Art Deco sculpture by German artist August Wilhelm Goebel (1883–1971) masterfully balances classical form and modernist restraint. Created circa 1930, the porcelain figure of a serene woman evokes both poise and quiet intensity, rendered in glossy white glaze with architectural precision. Standing 55 cm (21.6 in) tall, this work makes a refined yet powerful statement...ideal for collectors, curators, or discerning interior designers. The piece bears the artist’s signature, “AW Goebel,” in relief on the base, marking it as an authentic work by one of the most skilled sculptors of the interwar period. More than a decorative object, this is a sculptural poem in stillness...a rare piece where silence becomes style. Mind you, our fair price for this large size and timeless white/ivory color, eye catcher, female figure even includes perfect packing and also worldwide shipping from our store to your door in just 4 to 5 days. Maximum height x width x depth: 21..7 x 5.4 x 5.3 inches. We are driven by a passion for uniqueness, timeless, quality, stylish design, and the enduring craftsmanship of the past.

Rare Art Deco Bookends, Indian Sculptures in Meditating Position on Marble Base
Located in Lisse, NL
Unique on 1stdibs and possibly worldwide. It was in the early 20th century that meditation became known in Western society. Like many artists, the one who handcrafted the sculptures that were used to create these bookends probably traveled through Indonesia or India. These creative minds came back full of inspiration of all they had witnessed, because certainly back then, they entered a whole new world. The meditating males on these marble based bookends are made of silvered brass and the artist perfectly captured their serene faces, their turban head wear and their relaxed bodies. Sitting with their minds at rest and with their consciousness in the entire body or possibly focussed on breathing only, they would certainly arouse interest with western travelers...
