Description

Works with an animal theme, called "animalier" in French, are the highest expression of Art Deco whose artistic style is based on absolute elegance. The influence of Japonisme, combined with the classicism of Italian art, produced these two impressive sculptures of rare beauty and harmony. Depicting herons, they are an excellent example of the Japanese-inspired style in vogue in Europe in the late 19th century and early 20th century. These pieces are of inestimable fine style, dating to the 1920s and 1930s; from the Lombard area of Italy, they take the Asian fashion in vogue at the start of the century to the highest levels. Made with lost-wax technical bronze, they feature a variegated polychrome effect joining hues of green and red with uncommon skill. These birds have always been symbols of harmony and elegance; in the East, they are even linked to the gods with powers to bring luck and peace. In the West, storks, which are closely related, are a symbol of fertility.
