Sailboat on the Waves – Attributed to Raymond Subes, France, Circa 1925

Wrought and hammered iron sculpture depicting a stylized sailboat gliding over the waves, featuring a copper sail that creates an elegant contrast with the dark metal structure. This refined composition is characteristic of the Art Deco vocabulary of the 1920s. This model is documented and attributed to Raymond Subes (1891–1970), the celebrated French master ironworker and a major figure of Parisian decorative arts, renowned for his forged iron works blending architectural rigor with sculptural lines. Unsigned piece. French work, circa 1925.
