This Art Déco bronze paperweight, crafted circa 1925, showcases a whimsical guinea pig designed by Swiss-born sculptor Édouard-Marcel Sandoz in 1919. The piece, manufactured by the renowned Parisian foundry Susse Frères, exemplifies Sandoz's mastery of animal sculpture and his contribution to the Art Déco movement. The paperweight's hollow form and polished bronze surface highlight the animal's rounded contours and expressive features. The base of the sculpture bears both Sandoz's and Susse Frères' maker's marks, attesting to its authenticity and artistic pedigree.
Known for his precise yet playful animal representations, Sandoz (1881-1971) was a founding member of the Animaliers group and a pioneer in modernist sculpture. On their part, Susse Frères, established in 1758, was instrumental in producing high-quality bronze sculptures during the Art Déco period. Their collaboration resulted in this charming, functional art object. less
