Works with an animal theme, called “animalier” in French, are the highest expression of Art Deco whose artistic style is based on absolute elegance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The influence of Japonisme, combined with the classicism of Italian art, produced these two impressive sculptures of rare beauty and harmony<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

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.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

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.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Made with lost-wax technical bronze, they feature a variegated polychrome effect joining hues of green and red with uncommon skill.<\/span><\/p>\n

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.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
