Art Deco "Elegante Aux Biches" on Alabaster Base signed D. Constan by Chiparus

This exquisite Art Deco sculpture, titled “Élégante Aux Biches,” is an iconic work by Demétre Chiparus, one of the most celebrated artists of the period. Cast in detailed bronze and set atop an alabaster base, the piece depicts a graceful, fashionable woman standing alongside and feeding serene deer, exemplifying the elegance and refinement of 1920s French design.

The female figure kneels with an elegant poise, resting her elbow on her bent knee gently extending her finger tips towards the deer, neck retracted in anticipation. Her left arm holds a bunch of berries against her stomach. The elgant drapery of her dress and the exquisite detailing of her bonnet and features all sing alongside one another in precise elegance and style.

Signed “D. Constan,”a known pseudonym of Chiparus, the sculpture encapsulates the glamour and sophistication of the era, blending naturalistic detail with stylized Art Deco form. The alabaster base adds a luminous warmth and softness, perfectly complementing the rich textures of the bronze. A rare and captivating object, it embodies the artistic and cultural vibrancy of the time.

This collector’s piece will elevate any Art Deco or eclectic interior with its timeless allure. In Excellent Vintage Condition.

France, Circa 1925
