Marie Louise Simard was born in Paris, France and was brought up in Monaco. At an early age, she gained a solid foundation of carving from an old, local stonecutter. Thereafter, she was completely self-taught.
Simard mainly sculpted decorative bronzes of elegant nudes, dancing figures and animal bronzes. Her unique finish was often to create silver and parcel gilt surfaces as well as decorate them with black enamel and/or dinanderie patterns.
She exhibited at the Salon des Tuileries in 1927 and the Salon des Indépendants. Her figures were also exhibited at the Edgard Brandt Gallery, at the Danthon Galeries in Paris and other galleries in Madrid, Prague and Tokyo.

Monumental Important Art Deco Silver
Gilt Bronze Goddess G. Lavaroff
By Georges Lavroff
Located in New York City, NY
An exceptionally large and rare French Art Deco original bronze sculpture circa 1927 by a well known artist Georges Lavaroff (1895-1991)
It's quite uncommon to find this very large size and notably featuring the silver and parcel gilt finish.
The artwork features a majestic female nude, adorned with a stylized cloak in alternating stripes of gold and silver, which showcases a pyramid shape. The Egyptian goddess is depicted as an undraped figure with arms outstretched above her head, holding a crescent moon. She wears a north star headdress that adds to her regal appearance. The cloak is embellished with stars and a comet, and the female figure rests on a bed of stylized clouds. The sculpture is presented on its original black and gold marble base.
All of these attributes add to the uniqueness and value of the artwork, making it even more remarkable and sought after by collectors and art enthusiasts.
