Italian Carved Carrara Marble Art Deco Sculpture of “Stone Carver” by Barsanti

About the Item

WORKSHOP OF BARSANTI Italy, 20th century A Young Stone Carver Carrara marble signed to the back by Barsanti, Pietrasanta circa first half of the 20th century Item # 304QGS30Q A powerful study of a young stone-carver, he rests against the stone of his tradecraft, the young sculptor simple hefting his hammer in one hand and gingerly holding his chisel in his other hand as he braces his tired back against his leg. The image is a fine example of technical realism in the finely rendered nude study while it has the most subtle hints of angular stylizing that show the influence of the Art Deco period on the sculptor. His hair cuts at chaotic geometrical angles that frame the angularity of his face brilliantly. It is signed along the back of the sculpture by the House of Barsanti and noting its origin in their location in Pietrasanta. The workshop was founded in the small tuscan town of Pietrasanta in 1882 by Martino Barsanti not far from the Carrara marble quarries and in the early 20th century and has carved marble ever since. The firm continues to operate today, now in its 5th generation. Note: this is carved from a single solid block of Carrara marble and as a result is incredibly heavy, weighing in at over 300 lbs. It will certainly require some careful planning on how you will receive it, where it will be placed and also to make arrangements for assistance in receiving it. Unless other arrangements are made, our gallery shipments are always "curbside only", which means the driver will not unpack or assist in bringing the crated shipment past the nearest curb. Measurements: 30 1/2" H x 20" D x 17" W Condition Report: Fine original condition. Some minor chipping and wear to the stone throughout. Discoloration and trace grime. A powerful presentation.

Rare Art Deco Bronze Sculpture “Mischievous” by Paul Philippe

Located in Shippensburg, PA

PAUL PHILIPPE Polish/French, 1870-1930 "Mischievous" Polychromed gilt bronze over original marble base signed in cast "P. PHILIPPE" signed in cast "i9.R / France" with foundry seal of A.G. Paris Item # 212MPH15S An exquisite and rare example of Paul Philippe's Mischievous finished in a brilliant polychromed gilt, the young woman grabs her reddish-brown hair in hand while looking off into the corner with a sly look in her eyes that suggests she holds a secret that we will never know. The base signature is captured directly from the mold. Situated over its original faceted base. A very fine work. ARTIST Born in Thorn in Poland in 1870, Paul Philippe studied under Antonin Larroux at the École des Beaux-Arts after moving to Paris, France around 1900. He exhibited extensively at all of the major French salons and developed his own voice in sculpture by focusing his ouevre around the movement of the female body, often depicting exotic models in highly theatrical poses with a loose adherence to realism in his idealized visions. He walked a fine line between Art Nouveau and Art Deco while his figures do tend towards the latter. He executed figures in bronze and chryselephantine and worked with some of the best foundries in France and Germany. Many examples of his work are held in the Art Deco Museum in Moscow, Russia.
