Vadim Androusov, Les Enfants aux Oiseaux Pair of Sconces, France, 1946
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.
