Art Deco bronze statuette – attributed to Paul Philippe, edition H. Hudès

Elegant female statuette in patinated bronze, emblematic of the Art Deco aesthetic of the 1920s-30s. The figure, with its graceful bearing and modest attitude, perfectly embodies the era's taste for elongated silhouettes and clean lines. This model is attributed to the sculptor Paul Philippe, a major figure in Art Deco decorative sculpture, and bears the signature of the publisher H. Hudès, a foundry active during the interwar period. This was a common arrangement at the time, where models were published by specialised houses, sometimes without the direct signature of the artist. The statuette rests on a veined black marble base, typical of productions from this period. A small decorative format, ideal for a console, shelf, or integrated into a collection display. Total height: 21 cm. Condition: Bronze in excellent condition, with a homogeneous and well-preserved patina. Notable: old crack and chip on the marble foot, without impact on stability or the overall aesthetic reading of the piece.
