Louis XV and Louis XVI sculptures: the grace and elegance of the 18th century
Terracotta sculptures in the Louis XV and Louis XVI styles are symbols of luxury and sophistication.

In contrast, the Louis XVI style marks a transition to neoclassicism, with sculptures featuring straight lines and geometric motifs inspired by Greek and Roman antiquity. Popular subjects include busts of famous personalities, representations of classical divinities and allegorical scenes.
The Empire: the grandeur and majesty of Napoleon Bonaparte
The Empire style, popularized during the reign of Napoleon Bonaparte, is distinguished by a grandeur and majesty evocative of the glory of the Roman Empire. Terracotta sculptures from this period are often imposing, adorned with imperial symbols such as eagles, laurel wreaths and sphinxes. Military themes predominated, with representations of war heroes, battle scenes and busts of Napoleon himself.
Napoleon III: An eclectic mix of styles
The Napoleon III, or Second Empire, period was marked by a stylistic eclecticism drawing on various influences from the past. Terracotta sculptures from this period reflect this diversity, with pieces inspired by Neoclassicism, Baroque, Renaissance and even Orientalism. This mix of styles creates a visual richness and variety that makes it possible to find unique and distinctive pieces for any type of interior.
Art Nouveau: nature and movement at the heart of creation
Art Nouveau, which emerged at the end of the 19th century, is an artistic movement emphasizing organic forms and natural motifs. Terracotta sculptures from this period are distinguished by their flowing lines, elegant curves and attention to detail. Common themes include graceful women often draped in flowing gowns, stylized plants and animals. These works capture the beauty and dynamism of nature, bringing a touch of natural elegance to your space.
Art Deco: the bold modernity of the 1920s
Art Deco, which reached its peak in the 1920s and 1930s, is synonymous with modernity and boldness.

The use of luxurious materials and innovative techniques gives these works a distinctive, refined character. Common themes include human figures in dynamic poses, abstract motifs and representations of speed and progress.
