Original Description
"Deux Chouettes" (Two Owls) by French ceramicist Raymond Bigot (1872-1953) captures Art Nouveau’s organic elegance through its sinuous forms and nature-inspired symbolism. Created during the movement’s golden age (1890-1910), this sculptural ceramic piece showcases Bigot’s mastery of crystalline glazes—a signature technique where iridescent mineral deposits create jewel-like surfaces. The twin owls perch asymmetrically amidst swirling foliage, their watchful eyes rendered in metallic lustre that shifts with light. As a student of Haviland & Company and collaborator with masters like Émile Gallé, Bigot bridged utilitarian pottery and fine art, positioning his work alongside René Lalique’s glass menageries in the Musée des Arts Décoratifs collections. The owls’ moonlit palette of peacock blues and emerald greens exemplifies the Symbolist influence permeating French decorative arts post-1889 Paris Exposition Universelle.
For contemporary interiors, this piece commands attention as a sculptural focal point atop credenzas or displayed in niche lighting. In minimalist spaces, its intricate detailing provides organic contrast against neutral walls; pair with Charles Rennie Mackintosh-style geometric furnishings for Art Nouveau dialectics. The 30-40cm typical size suits above-eye-level placement—consider floating shelves in studies or reception areas where the owls’ protective symbolism resonates professionally. Echo its tonal palette through teal velvet cushions or malachite accessories, while matte black frames harmonize with the piece’s dark contours. In offices, position near natural light to animate the crystalline glazes’ chromatic shifts, creating dynamic visual interest through daylight cycles.
