About the Item

Large French Art Deco sculpture depicting a seagull with outstretched wings, shown perched on a stylized wave and looking downward as if about to take flight. The work is signed J. Loriot in the cast. The sculpture is made of patinated and cold-painted metal, most likely spelter, and is mounted on a substantial marbled stone base. The bird has a pale painted finish, contrasting beautifully with the darker patinated wave and the black marble plinth. J. Loriot appears to have been a French decorative animalier sculptor or model maker active during the Art Deco period. His known works are mainly seagull and marine bird sculptures in metal, often mounted on marble bases. Some comparable examples bear a French export/manufacturer’s mark reading “Fabrication Française – Paris – Made in France,” suggesting production by a Parisian workshop for the decorative arts market. A striking and dynamic Art Deco animalier sculpture, notable for its large size, elegant composition and strong sense of movement. Artist / Maker: J.
