About the Item

This pair of glazed earthenware sconces is a marvelous example of the work of the unique Russian-born sculptor and designer Vadim Androusov, who studied in France as Art Deco reached its maturity, and whose subjects were frequently classical in nature. Often working hand-in-hand with the great decorators of his age, these charming pieces were created for the tearoom "A La Marquise de Sévigné," at 61 rue d’Alsace-Lorraine in Toulouse, France, which was designed by local architects, Marie-Louise and Rene Cordier, likely in collaboration with Andre Arbus. Signed. Image of signature available upon request. Exhibition: Les arts de la table, Studios Harcourt, Paris, 1951. Similar wall sconce, model with the boy, exhibited in a furniture set by Raymond Pargamin. Bibliography: Le Décor d'Aujourd'hui, #65, 1951. Similar wall sconce, model with the boy, shown in a furniture set by Raymond Pargamin at the exhibition Les arts de la table of 1951 at Studios Harcourt, featured on page 296.
