About the Item
Pair of Serge Roche Gesso & Painted Plaster Exotic Fruit & Flower Topiaries
France, Circa 1950s
This rare pair of French Modern sculptural masterworks, attributed to the workshop of Serge Roche, exemplifies the elegant transition from the Art Deco period to French Modernism. Created in France circa the 1950s, these striking topiaries showcase Roche’s signature aesthetic, blending classical motifs with bold, modern forms.
Each sculpture, measuring 21 inches wide, 17 inches high, and 10 inches deep, is meticulously crafted from dense, heavy cast plaster with a beautifully textured white gesso-painted surface. The intricately detailed arrangement of exotic fruit and flowers is elegantly displayed in a neoclassical urn with delicate handles, exuding a sense of timeless refinement. The urns are mounted on 9-inch square blackened wood pedestal bases, adding a striking contrast that enhances their sculptural presence.
Weighing over 40 pounds each, these commanding yet graceful works serve as exquisite decorative elements for a variety of interiors, from classic and neoclassical spaces to contemporary and eclectic settings. Whether placed atop a console, mantel, or pedestal, these topiaries make a dramatic statement, embodying the artistry and craftsmanship of mid-century French design.
