Large 24" Art Deco silvered bronze statue of a dancer Stella Guiraud-Rivière
About the Item
Guiraud-Rivière 1881-1947
A tall, exquisite, original French Art Deco sculpture in silvered bronze with parcel gilt accents. This largest rendition of the sculpture is truly a rarity to behold, while the smaller size of 10- 12" ht is a model much more commonly encountered.
Sometimes referred to by the name of Stella, this extraordinary work bears the signature on the base of the bronze, of the renowned artist Maurice Guiraud-Rivière and the famed founder, Etling Paris.
Impressive and captivating, this statue portrays a graceful female nude dancer captured in an active pose standing on one foot atop a star. Adorned with an ankle bracelet, turban, and earrings, the figure emanates elegance. Her outstretched arm holds an onyx ball, adding a touch of a contrasting medium to the composition.
Standing proudly on a star-shaped base, the sculpture culminates in a sub plinth made of verde green and white marble.

Maurice Guiraud-Rivière, a French painter, designer and sculptor born in 1881 in Toulouse and passing in 1947, studied at the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts in Paris under the guidance of Antonin Mercié. In 1907, he exhibited at the Salon des artistes Français. With a strong inclination towards Art Deco, he gained recognition for his sculptures focusing on themes like women, sports, aviation, and automobiles, crafted in bronze or chryselephantine. Notably, he had a passion for automobiles and created mascots between 1919 and 1930, produced by the Etling house. He also produced advertising posters, watercolors and humorous drawings. His work is emblematic of the Art Deco era, marked by its distinctive style and influence.
While Maurice Guiraud-Rivière explored various artistic disciplines during his career, including sculpture, drawing, and painting, it is his "Art Deco" inspired sculptures that remain the most coveted and sought-after pieces of his body of work.

- Monumental Important Art Deco Silver & Gilt Bronze Goddess G. LavaroffBy Georges LavroffLocated in New York City, NYAn exceptionally large and rare French Art Deco original bronze sculpture circa 1927 by a well known artist Georges Lavaroff (1895-1991) It's quite uncommon to find this very large size and notably featuring the silver and parcel gilt finish. The artwork features a majestic female nude, adorned with a stylized cloak in alternating stripes of gold and silver, which showcases a pyramid shape. The Egyptian goddess is depicted as an undraped figure with arms outstretched above her head, holding a crescent moon. She wears a north star headdress that adds to her regal appearance. The cloak is embellished with stars and a comet, and the female figure rests on a bed of stylized clouds. The sculpture is presented on its original black and gold marble base. All of these attributes add to the uniqueness and value of the artwork, making it even more remarkable and sought after by collectors and art enthusiasts. Water bottle shown for scale.
