A master designer, his bronze statuettes and ceramic figural work epitomise the era perfectly. As with Preiss, Chiparus and Colinet the other great sculptors from this period, Lorenzl was inspired by the female form and the new found freedom that women enjoyed, which he executed beautifully both in his bronze and ceramic designs. Pictured right: A Josef Lorenzl Cold-Painted Art Deco Bronze and Ivory Deco Lady with Decoration by Crejo – Circa 1930 – Modelled cast and carved as a young woman adopting a stylish pose, her costume decorated with enamelled flowers, onyx plinth, base signed Lorenzl, dress signed Crejo 10.5/8 in. (27 cm.) high. Sold for £6,250 at Christies, London (Feb 2014). Josef Lorenzl Cold-Painted Art Deco Bronze and Ivory Deco Lady with Decoration by Crejo – Circa 1930 Although very little is known about Lorenzl’s early life we are aware that he was born in Austria in 1892 and was soon to become one of the most talented sculptors of the Art Deco Period. He started by working for a bronze foundry in Vienna Arsenal where he produced stunning Art Deco bronze statuettes. The majority of his works in bronze and ivory were of singular slim female nudes with long legs which conveyed elegance. His preference was for dancing poses which were not only evident in his singular statuettes but also in those attached to marble clocks, lamp bases and bookends. Like his contemporaries Lorenzl work was created in bronze or by using “Chryselephantine”, a Greek word which refers to the combination of various materials such as bronze, ivory, gold and silver. He signed his pieces in various ways sometimes abbreviating his name to ” R Lor”, “Lor” or “Enzl” but on some of the statuettes you will find an additional signature by Crejo. A talented painter who worked alongside Lorenzl, Crejo would paint decoration onto the statuettes such as flowers and these are the figures which bear his signature. Far more desirable with Crejo’s painting these can command a premium at auction. Recently Bonhams sold an example of Lorenzl’s work with Crejo decoration for £10,500 but the pieces created by Lorenzl alone generally fetch in the region of £2,000 – £12,000 depending on the subject matter and size. A Josef Lorenzl (1892-1950) Cold-Painted Art Deco Bronze and Onyx Timepiece with Deco Lady ~ Circa 1920. Pictured left: A Josef Lorenzl (1892-1950) Cold-Painted Art Deco Bronze and Onyx Timepiece with Deco Lady ~ Circa 1920. Modelled and cast as a crouching nude female figure holding a dial with onyx face, on onyx plinth raised on slate base, apparently unsigned11½ in. (31.7 cm.) high. Sold for £4,700 at Christies, London (Nov 2013). From his designs in bronze and ivory Lorenzl went on to work for the Austrian ceramics company Goldscheider. Again creating stunning sculptures of the female form collector’s are more aware of this period and his sculptures in ceramic than they are of his earlier bronze and ivory statuettes. Inspired by shape and bold colours Lorenzl’s sculptures had clean lines and geometric shapes. Although each piece possess great movement there was no intricacy or attention to detail and most of his figures wore their hair in the boyish bob which was fashionable at the time, making these simplistic and stylish figurines the epitome of Art Deco Bronze design. One of Lorenzl’s friends Stephan Dakon who he had met whilst working at the bronze foundry had the same vision and style as Lorenzl so it was the obviously thing for Lorenzl to recommend Dakon to Goldscheider when he started to work for them. Taken on as a freelance designer Dakon was of the same mindset as Lorenzl and so much of their work was very similar. People at the time even believed that the two were in fact the same person. Both the artists had an interest in the female form, dance and theatrical costume. This was enhanced with Lorenzl when he took a trip to Paris and visited Folies Bergeres. Famous dancer Josephine Baker was on stage with her chorus dancers, all wearing extremely flamboyant costumes, Lorenzl was captivated by the glamour and outlandishness of the dancers and so on his return to Austria reproduced gorgeous figurines wearing vibrant coloured costumes and in various dance poses. He was also able to use his skill as an Art Deco bronze sculptor to use the earthenware to his advantage. Carving delicate fingers and enhancing the women’s female form Lorenzl set about producing some stunning sculptures. “Captured Bird” was one of his most popular and was created in many different colours and sizes. This particular piece is of a dancing girl with a gossamer winged dress which was inspired by a dance performed by Niddy Impekoven and was also captured onto a lamp base with three figures of this elegant lady dancing around the stand.. Other dancing Deco Lady girl figurines which were created by Lorenzl include “Butterfly Wings,” “Spider-Web Dress...

Ceramic Sign: Made in Austria Keramos 2051 19/M Wiener Keramos, later Keramos AG or Keramos KG , was a Viennese ceramics manufacturer that made a name for itself especially in the interwar period . In addition to their own designs, designs from the dissolved Wiener Werkstätte were also produced from 1932 onwards. In over 60 years of company history, around 3000 model designs have been produced by around 60 ceramists. Keramos also carried out commissions from the Wiener Werkstätte, such as vases by Dagobert Peche . History The origins of the Keramos company lie in two companies with the same name. The company Keramos – Invalid Society for Viennese Art Ceramics was founded at the end of 1919 on the initiative of the three ceramists Rudolf Wolf, Heinrich Wolf and Ludwig Rys, who had become invalids in World War I. Production started in September 1920. Art-ceramic lamps, figures, vases and boxes were produced. The company Keramos – Viennese art ceramics and porcelain manufactory was founded in 1920. Josef Hoffmann was a shareholder of Keramos for a long time, as was the sculptor Rudolf Podany, who was engaged from the start and created a large number of designs. From 1921 Anton Klieber was employed, who was also responsible for most of the models. Around 1924 both companies were merged and converted into an AG, commercial director became Otto Köller, the technical directors were the brothers Rudolf and Heinrich Wolf. "Some war invalid ceramists founded a workshop with the help of some artists, which was subsequently financed by the state and later enlarged with its participation and converted into a joint-stock company." The company's headquarters were in the Hofburg , Schwarze-Adler-Stiege, the factory in the 10th district of Vienna, Schleiergasse 17. Artistic collaborators at that time were Eduard Klablena , Otto Prutscher , Karl Perl , Karin Jarl-Sakellarios , IDA Schwetz- Lehmann and Grete Fucik-Fischmeister. On February 23, 1928, the triangular mark was entered in the trademark register. It was now also produced for the Wiener Werkstätte. Difficulties for the company arose from the Great Depression . Around 1932, 50 people were employed and a large number of models from Eduard Klabena and the dissolved Wiener Werkstätte were taken over. The works created by Keramos were labeled with their company brands until after 1941. From 1939 the economic situation of the company was better managed by taking over the production of ceramic winter welfare organization badges, the so-called WHW badges. Before 1941 the company is converted into a KG named Keramos, Wiener Kunstkeramik und Porzellanmanufaktur Brüder Wolf KG . Otto Köller was no longer active from this point on. After the end of World War II, Robert Obsieger recommended Robert Mathis as the new head of Keramos, who took over the management of the ceramics manufactory in 1945. In 1949 Mathis introduced a new company logo, which was used alongside the existing triangle mark, the so-called coat of arms mark. Anton Klieber and Rudolf Podany continued to work as ceramists, and new artists such as Josef Lorenzl and Stephan Dakon , both of whom had previously worked for Goldscheider , as well as Rudolf Chocholka, Karl Grössl and Ina Eisenbeisser were engaged. New models such as dancers, children's figures, animals and nudes were created, as well as the well-known wall masks, young people and poodles from the mid-1950s, which corresponded to the trend at the time. In addition, however, traditional designs such as Madonna statues and busts, saints and angels were still made. Utility ceramics such as crockery, vases, lamp bases, candle holders and flower pots also became an important branch of production, and cooperation with the German manufacturer Carstens at the beginning of the 1960s was just as lucrative. In the course of the 1960s, the sales markets for figurative ceramics became increasingly difficult. So until 1982, production was increasingly shifted to everyday ceramics, since ceramic figures were no longer modern due to changing tastes and the spirit of the times. Ultimately, the economic situation at Keramos became more and more difficult and Klaus Mathis, the son of Robert Mathis and then director, who succeeded his father at the helm of the company at the beginning of the 1970s, initiated the liquidation of the company at the end of 1982 . Staff The following artistic collaborators have worked for Keramos over the years: Hans Adametz , Franz Barwig the Elder , Franz Barwig the Younger , Andreas Beck, Hans Bolek, Angelo Bortolotti, Hertha Bucher , Rudolf Chocholka, Stephan Dakon , Ferdinand Doblinger, Eckstein, Franz Eggenberger , Ina Eisenbeisser, English, Stephan Erdös, Alois Feichtinger, Feyslitz, Hans Friedberger, Grete Fucik-Fischmeister, Kurt Goebel, Anton Grath, Karl Grössl, M.

A pair of Orientalist terracotta figures by Johann Maresch Austrian, Late 19th Century Man: height 49cm, width 20cm, depth 15cm Woman: height 48cm, width 20cm, depth 15cm Depicting a woman and a man of similar appearance, age, dress, and in a similarly spritely, lively, and engaging manner, these figures were made by Johann Maresch in the late nineteenth century, c.1880. A skilled Austrian maker, similar in output to the more famous Friedrich Goldscheider, Maresch gave these figures a tangible vitality and energy to their representation, showing them as hard-working yet undaunted and undimmed by their labours. Their manner of dress is similar, even down to the similarities in the colours used to paint them. She carries a bright orange-red urn...
