Jacques Adnet, Ceramic Turtledove, 1920s

Creator: Jacques Adnet
Offered by: Kulik Selzer

Description
This wonderful ceramic sculpture of a Turtledove is by the key Art Deco designer Jacques Adnet and was first shown at the pivotal 'Exposition des Arts Decoratifs et Industriels Modernes' of 1925 which would distinguish a unique shift in the history of design. The head of the dove rests gently into its shoulder while the tail feathers are shown through sweeping lines in the simple fanning form which would become a defining feature of the Art Deco period. Finished in an ivory crackle glaze and impressed with Adnet's name at the front of the base, this is an elegantly decorative piece from a celebrated moment in 20th century design.
