Art Deco Ceramic Pheasant by Le Manceau C1920

1900 - 1920
For Sale by Aramis Antiques
Description

An impressive Art Deco ceramic pheasant standing on rocky ground stamped LEMANCEAU for its renowned designer Charles Le Manceau c1920. This good sized piece depicts an alert cock pheasant, head turned, standing on rocky ground. The stylised modelling is typical of the forms favoured by Art Deco. Its outstanding feature is the rich deep emerald green glaze with gold highlights. Le Manceau was a leading specialist of animal and bird sculptures in the French Art Deco period. It was most likely made by the St Clement ceramic works, who made many of Le Manceau's designs. This is a striking statement piece in excellent condition.

This Art Deco ceramic pheasant figurine originates from the 1920s and carries the stamp of designer Charles Le Manceau. The earthenware piece is finished in a rich emerald green glaze, accentuated with delicate gold highlights on the stylised plumage and along the contours of the bird. The sculpture depicts an alert cock pheasant with its head turned, featuring an elongated sweeping tail that extends gracefully over an integrated naturalistic rocky base. The smooth glossy glaze contrasts with the textured details of the ground beneath the bird's feet. Dimensions are 34 cm high, 46 cm wide, and 16 cm deep. Suitable for display in a living room, study, or hallway, this sculpture provides an eye-catching decorative element for placement upon a mantelpiece, sideboard, or bookcase. The streamlined silhouette and gold detailing fit seamlessly into period or contemporary interior schemes that celebrate mid-century design and decorative ceramics.

FAQs

Dust the surface regularly using a soft, dry microfibre cloth to prevent dirt accumulation. Avoid abrasive chemical cleaners, immersion in water, or vigorous rubbing on gilded lines, as these methods can strip delicate surface decoration.

Displaying a green glaze ceramic sculpture on a dark sideboard or minimalist mantelpiece creates a striking visual focal point. Pair the item with modern geometric accessories or brass fixtures to complement its metallic highlights and structured lines.

Authentic period pieces usually display impressed or hand-painted makers marks, signatures, or mould numbers near the base. Additionally, period glazes often exhibit age-appropriate craze patterns, specific firing characteristics, and precise hand-gilding rather than modern transfer methods.

French Art Deco ceramics commonly utilised earthenware, faience, or stoneware bases, which were fired and decorated with liquid glazes. Accents were often applied using hand-painted enamel or gilded detailing before a final firing process.

Art Deco ceramics from the 1920s and 1930s are characterised by stylised forms, geometric streamlining, and bold glaze finishes. Artists frequently portrayed animal subjects with elongated proportions and simplified silhouettes to reflect modern industrial aesthetics.
