Later than 1960
For Sale by Art Deco World
Description

This is a super rare opportunity to acquire one of these beautifully reduced versions of the facade bas-relief of the Folies-Bergeres cabaret by Maurice Picaud aka Pico (1900-1977).

Background

He was a French architect, interior designer and one time designer for Ruhlmann furniture who created the dancing lady facade over the entrance to the Folies Bergeres building in Paris in 1926. The facade depicts the dancer Lila Nikolska, who posed for the sculpture.

What you are buying

This beautiful plaque is a limited edition of 50. We have less than a handful left. Made from plaster and applied gold gilding/ spray . The panel measures 60cm by 60cm and weighs almost 10kg. Two hooking eyelets are on the back. This mold is directly taken from the reduced versions made by Pico. The artist is a newly retired artist who worked in Paris up until last year for 40 years as a conservationist /restorer to all the major museums in Paris, mostly restoring art work and paintings. His credentials are excellent.

Each plaque is hand painted /gilded and will show variants, no one single one is identical to the next, however the nuances are slight and not so different to be noteworthy. FREE UK DELIVERY

FAQs

Art Deco wall reliefs feature bold geometric structures, streamlined curves, and highly stylised human figures. Popularised during the Interwar period, these decorative panels often drew inspiration from modern movement, theatrical performances, and architectural motifs.

Period wall plaques were primarily cast in metals such as brass, bronze, iron, or spelter, alongside carved timber and repousse sheet metals. Cast metal pieces were frequently finished with hand-applied patinas or polished highlights to emphasize shallow depth and contouring.

Authentic pieces demonstrate characteristic period stylisation, uniform casting weight, and natural surface wear or oxidisation in unpolished recesses. Look for crisp casting lines, authentic patination, and period-appropriate mounting hardware on the reverse.

Position the plaque as a focal point above a console table, mantelpiece, or within a gallery wall arrangement. Combining metallic relief work with dark wood furniture, modern minimalist backdrops, or period-appropriate lighting enhances its architectural contours.

Dust regularly using a dry, soft lint-free cloth or microfibre duster. Avoid abrasive polishes and chemical solvents, as these can strip original patination and protective coatings from cast metal surfaces.
