About the Item
A striking example of the love of allegory among sculptors and painters in the Art Deco period, this rare piece depicts a stylized female figure holding a sheaf of wheat and scythe, resting from her labors for a moment in the fields. The sculptor was Geza De Vegh, an important artist and ceramicist who created a line of porcelain pieces for the Lamberton Scammell Company in Trenton, New Jersey, as well as a group of rare ceramic pieces for the Phoenix Company, of which this is one. Importantly, De Vegh's work was very popular among set designers and art directors in Hollywood. His works are evident in the background of important Bette Davis films such as "The Letter," art directed by Carl Weyl; and "Now Voyager," art directed by Robert Haas.
