Art Deco Sculpture by Limousin of Woman Seated with Dog on Exotic Marble Base
-
Description
This exquisite Art Deco sculpture by the celebrated artist Limousin is a stunning representation of 1930s elegance and craftsmanship. The piece portrays a graceful woman seated in serene composure, accompanied by her loyal dog. She delicately holds a gilded fan, adding a touch of refinement to the composition. The intricate interplay of textures and finishes across the sculpture enhances its allure and highlights Limousin’s mastery of materials.
The surfaces of the sculpture are beautifully varied and rich in detail. The woman’s face and hands are rendered in a silvered metal that lends an ethereal, luminous quality, while portions of her dress are adorned with gilt accents, capturing the light in a delightful contrast. The fan she holds, also gilt, reflects her poised sophistication, while the majority of her dress and her dog are finished in a sumptuous oil-rubbed bronze that exudes warmth and depth.
The ensemble rests on a luxurious base constructed from a harmonious blend of onyx and Nero Marquina marble. The natural textures and tones of these materials provide an exquisite foundation for the sculpture, accentuating the rich palette of metals used in the figures. This pairing of artistic finishes with exotic materials epitomizes the spirit of the Art Deco movement, balancing opulence with modernist elegance.
This remarkable work is more than a sculpture; it is a reflection of the cultural and artistic zeitgeist of early 20th-century France. With its finely detailed craftsmanship and harmonious mixture of materials, the piece stands as a timeless collector's treasure and a celebration of refinement and innovation. In Excellent Vintage Condition. - More Information
