Pierre Polbert (early 20th century) was a French sculptor known for his distinctive ceramic sculptures, often associated with the Art Deco movement. His work primarily consisted of elegant, stylized depictions of women and animals, reflecting the era's fascination with grace, modernity, and luxury.
Polbert's sculptures, typically made of glazed ceramic, illustrate his ability to blend complex colors with fluid forms. His most notable pieces include depictions of women in harmonious interaction with animals such as gazelles, greyhounds, deer, and other graceful creatures. These sculptures were often made of terracotta or faience, a type of glazed pottery, and feature the colors and stylized forms characteristic of the Art Deco period.
Although many of Polbert's works are unsigned, they are highly sought after by collectors for their exceptional craftsmanship and rarity, but it is rare to find one bearing his full signature. As a result, his works are often recognized by their distinctive style rather than explicit signatures.
Polbert's creations are considered quality collector's items, particularly for those interested in Art Deco ceramics.
