Pico Plaque by Maurice Picaud
This is the famous Pico Plaque in guilt gesso with an oak frame. I have no specific and guaranteed information on these plaques, except that the original plaque, which is a huge concrete version above the Folies Bergere building in Paris was designed by Maurice Picaud (Pico) - that much I can confirm is true. He was a French architect, interior designer and one time designer for Ruhlmann furniture who created the dancing lady facade over the entrance to the Folies Bergere building in Paris in 1926. The facade depicts the dancer Lila Nikolska, who posed for the sculpture. Pico's name appears in the Follies Bergere official website, and a comprehensive account of this decoration can be found in the book by Gilles Neret - The Arts of the 20's, plate 13. From there on it gets a little fuzzy! There are currently 2 differing accounts on how the plaques were made, and neither are confirmed. Approx 25 inches square (64cm). For more information about Pico and the famous Pico Plaques, please go to my page dedicated to Maurice Picaud, go to the miscellaneous section, page 1 and click the highlighted link 'Maurice Picaud'. This will take you to a separate page on the website. Condition is good with aging to the gilding on the plaque. I have seen these plaques make a lot more than I am asking and one made as much as £7000! My price however is £2000 and it will not be around for long.
