Georges Lavroff (1895-1991) – Art Deco Bronze Female with Bird. A remarkable Art Deco bronze sculpture by the esteemed Russian-born sculptor Georges Lavroff signed "G. Lavroff" on the base. Crafted circa 1930, this exceptional piece remains in its original, pristine condition, exemplifying Lavroff's unparalleled skill in form and elegance. The sculpture is distinguished by its striking, larger-than-life stylized bird, elegantly cradled in the poised, dynamic posture typical of the Art Deco movement. The woman’s facial features capture the quintessential beauty and sophistication of the era, embodying the very essence of Art Deco design. A rare and captivating work by one of the period’s most talented artists.
Born in Siberia on April 18, 1895, Lavroff began his artistic journey creating sculptures in Siberia and Moscow.

This bronze epitomizes Lavroff’s ability to merge dynamic form with timeless sophistication, making it an exceptional example of his celebrated oeuvre. In 1935, Lavroff returned to Moscow, becoming an official artist known for his monumental sculptures and busts of Soviet leaders.
This piece is an extraordinary opportunity to own a work by one of the pivotal figures of the Art Deco movement, blending Russian heritage with French Art Deco finesse.
