Rare Art Deco Raymond Subes Reclaimed Architectural Iron and Bronze Garden or Door Screen

Rare 1920s Art Deco Architectural Ironwork Screen. An exceptional, bespoke piece of early 20th-century continental European architectural ironwork, acquired in the mid-1970s from a prominent antique dealer in France this piece is firmly attributed to Raymond Subes. This heavy-gauge, custom-forged structural panel exemplifies the peak of Art Deco ferronnerie d'art, showcasing a master artisan's ability to seamlessly blend industrial strength with fluid, stylized organic design. Design & CraftsmanshipUnlike mass-produced, flat-profile metalwork of the era, this panel features striking three-dimensional relief sculpture. The focal point is a beautifully executed elliptical 3D , rom the pot bursts a dynamic, multi-layered cluster of 3D agave-style fronds, framed by elegant scrolling tendrils and anchored below by a geometric wave motif. Above, a stylized sunburst in bronze projects clean, radiating iron rays into a sky of fluid, bent-wire clouds—a quintessential and optimistic Art Deco narrative.

Originally commissioned as a high-end architectural element—likely a decorative door grille, luxury transom, or winter garden sidelight panel .Provenance: Sourced from an elite continental dealer 50 years ago and held in a single private collection until now. Condition Offered in excellent, structurally robust antique condition. The ironwork displays a beautiful, naturally aged verdigris and multi-tone patina that highlights the deep sculptural relief of the fronds and planter.
