About the Item

SILVERED BRONZE From our Sculpture collection, we are pleased to offer this rare example Art Deco Bronze Figure by Paul Philippe. The figure beautifully raised upon a geometric black marble base depicts Leda and the Swan from greek mythology. The figure gracefully depicts Leda in full nude as she looks down with a charming smile. The Swan stood with its wings spread stands to protect Leda as she gently leans on it with both hands. The Bronze is fully silvered giving it a truly Art Deco stance and is signed to the base Philippe with the foundry monogram for Preiss-Kassler (PK). The Art Deco Silvered Bronze Figure by Paul Philippe dates to the first half of the 20th century during the Art Deco period (1919 to 1939) circa 1920. PAUL PHILIPPE (1870–1930) was a renowned French sculptor who worked during the late 19th and early 20th century studying at the École des Beaux-Arts. His work primarily consisted of bronze sculptures done in the Art Nouveau and Art Deco genres cast with particular grace and beauty. PREISS-KASSLER was a foundry located in Berlin, Germany. It was founded by Ferdinand Preiss and Arthur Kassler. Preiss was a leading German sculptor in a similar field to Philippe and Kassler was the business-minded partner controlling the foundry. LEDA AND THE SWAN is a story from Greek mythology in which the god Zeus, taking the form of a swan, seduces Leda, a mortal queen of Sparta. In the myth, Zeus, disguised as the swan, seeks Leda’s favor and seduces her. This encounter is said to have taken place on the same night she lay with her husband, King Tyndareus, resulting in an unusual birth. According to later Greek mythology, Leda bore Helen (Helen of Troy) and Polydeuces, children of Zeus, while at the same time bearing Castor and Clytemnestra, children of her husband Tyndareus, the King of Sparta. ART DECO is a style of visual arts, architecture and product design that first appeared in France just before World War I. It flourished in the United States and Europe during the 1920s to early 1930s. Through styling and design of the exterior and interior of anything from large structures to small objects, including how people look. BRONZE is an alloy consisting primarily of copper with approximately 12–12.5% tin and often with the addition of other metals (including aluminium, manganese, nickel, or zinc) and sometimes non-metals, such as phosphorus, or metalloids such as arsenic or silicon depending on the age of the bronze and its origin. The additions of other metals produce a range of alloys that are usually harder than copper alone and carry useful properties such as strength. The earliest known use of bronze dates to the 5th millennium BCE from Iranian plateau, the bronze mix consists of arsenical copper and copper-arsenide. The earliest tin-copper-alloy recovered is dated to circa 4650 BCE and was found in Plocnik, Serbia. It is believed to have been smelted from a natural tin-copper ore.
