Description

A gilt bronze of a boy wearing a cloak and with his face carved from ivory.

Affortunato Gory (Gori) was a French-Italian artist who specialized in Art Deco figurative sculpture, often combining materials such as bronze, ivory, and marble to dazzling effect.

Born in 1895 in Florence, Italy, Gory emigrated to France after studying with noted sculptor Augusto Rivalta at the Accademia di Belle Arti in his home city. He continued to practice and learn from the French artist Victorien-Antoine Bastet after his move to Paris, and exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Français on multiple occasions. Little else is known about the artist, who died in 1925.

Chryselephantine refers to statues made from a combination of bronze and ivory, a technique popularised during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, particularly within Art Nouveau and Art Deco movements.

Traditional pieces typically combine a cast bronze body, often finished with gilt or cold-painted details, with carved ivory or bone used for the face and hands to create realistic flesh tones.

Authentic period pieces usually feature signature marks from the artist or foundry, fine hand-chased details in the metal casting, and natural age-related patination rather than uniform modern finishes.

Such sculptures serve as focal points on mantelpieces, sideboards, or glass-fronted cabinets, pairing effectively with minimalist decor to highlight their intricate craftsmanship.

Dust gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and avoid using chemical cleaners or water, which can damage the delicate gilt surface and historical patina.
