Homage to Belgian Resistance Against Nazis, Remarkable Wall Plate by d'hossche
About the Item
Designed and executed by Ernest d'Hossche, one of Belgium's leading Art Deco artisans in the 1930s and 40s, this very rare wall plate features a nude female figure holding an upright sword, symbolizing Belgium's resistance against the occupying Nazi forces over six years between 1940 and 1945. d'Hossche worked for many years at the Boch ceramic company, which employed hundreds of workers at its two locations -- La Louvière (Keramis) and Tournai (Boch Freres) -- in this case creating a piece fired and glazed at La Louvière. Later he went on to serve as head designer for the firm, producing many superb pieces, including the new time series of dishes premiered at the Brussels World's fair in 1958, the first fair of its kind after World War II. The piece is fully marked and signed on the reverse.

View All"Nudes in Paradise, " Spectacular Wall Charger, High Style Art Deco by Sevres
By Jean Beaumont
Located in Philadelphia, PA
One of the most spectacular high style Art Deco pieces we have ever offered, this large wall charger depicting two female nudes and a deer in an idyllic, color-drenched garden was made in 1927 by the famed Sevres porcelain manufactory in France. The designer was Jean Beaumont, who is known for designing some of the most ambitious and striking of Sevres' Art Deco vases and other pieces in the 1920s and 30s, and the ceramic artist who applied the glazes was Adrien-Auguste Leduc, who worked at Sèvres from 1923 until 1948. Made only two years after the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes was held in Paris, which gave the Art Deco style its name many years later, the theme of this charger -- and its stylized, elongated nudes...
