Sylva Bernt - Paire Exceptionnelle d'Appliques en Bronze Patiné (circa 1950)
Located in NEUILLY-SUR-SEINE, FR
Sylva Bernt - Paire Exceptionnelle d'Appliques en Bronze Patiné (circa 1950)
Type : Paire d’appliques en bronze patiné
Date de création : Vers 1950
Dimensions : H : 39 cm L : 36 cm
Décor : Colombes en vol
Marque du fondeur : "Bisceglia"
Cette paire exceptionnelle d’appliques en bronze patiné, réalisée vers 1950, est décorée de colombes en vol, motif cher à Sylva Bernt, une artiste reconnue pour son inspiration antique et son travail sur les formes épurées et symboliques.
Biographie de Sylva Bernt (1910-1995)
Sylva Bernt est une sculptrice et designer italienne, née en 1910 à Gorizia, près de Trieste, et décédée en 1995. Artiste rare et reconnue, elle se distingue par ses créations et commandes publiques en Italie et en France, où elle s’installe vers 1950.
En 1952, après avoir rencontré André Arbus chez le peintre Guido Cadorin à Venise, elle reçoit ses premières commandes françaises. À l’invitation du décorateur, elle participe à la construction du paquebot Bretagne, créant un grand autel en pierre pour la chapelle du navire. Cette collaboration marque le début d’une relation artistique étroite avec Arbus.
Installée Avenue du Maine à Paris, elle devient praticienne d’Arbus, réalisant des éléments décoratifs intégrés à son mobilier. Ensemble, ils répondent à des commandes prestigieuses, tant publiques que privées :
Décoration des paquebots transatlantiques Vietnam (1952) et Pasteur (1961)
Décoration de la villa de Jean-Marie Terrin à Aix-en-Provence (1955), où elle réalise des panneaux monumentaux en pierre de Chassagne rose, inspirés de la mythologie antique, dans un style néo-assyrien.
Son inspiration antique lui permet de livrer certaines des plus belles interprétations modernes des mythes gréco-romains. Sa parfaite connaissance de la statuaire antique se traduit dans des créations en marbre, calcaire, plomb, plâtre, terre et bronze. Parmi ses œuvres notables, on retrouve Le Centaure (1961), une étude en encre démontrant fluidité et spontanéité du trait.
En 1955, elle conçoit une longue frise historique sur l’épopée viking, destinée au Grand Salon du Palais des Consuls de la Chambre de Commerce de Rouen.

Biography of Sylva Bernt (1910-1995)
Sylva Bernt was an Italian sculptor and designer, born in 1910 in Gorizia, near Trieste, and passed away in 1995. A rare yet recognized artist, she was renowned for her public commissions in Italy and France, where she settled around 1950.
In 1952, after meeting André Arbus at painter Guido Cadorin’s studio in Venice, she received her first French commissions. At Arbus’ invitation, she contributed to the construction of the Bretagne ocean liner, creating a large stone altar for the ship’s chapel. This collaboration marked the beginning of a close artistic relationship with Arbus.
Settling in Avenue du Maine, Paris, she became Arbus’ practitioner, creating decorative elements that he incorporated into his furniture designs. Together, they worked on prestigious projects, both public and private:
Decoration of the ocean liners Vietnam (1952) and Pasteur (1961)
Creation of monumental panels for Jean-Marie Terrin’s villa in Aix-en-Provence (1955), carved in pink Chassagne stone, inspired by ancient mythology in a neo-Assyrian style.
Her classical inspiration led her to produce some of the most refined modern interpretations of Greco-Roman myths. With extensive knowledge of antique statuary, she mastered materials such as marble, limestone, lead, plaster, terracotta, and bronze. Among her key works, Le Centaure (1961) stands out, showcasing her fluid and spontaneous linework.
In 1955, she designed a long historical frieze depicting the Viking epic...
