Brass Art-Deco Figure

Franze Peleschka (born in 1873) came from "modest, middle-class" and studied at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, where he was a student of Edmund von Hellmer. He was temporarily active in Berlin. His alabaster figures, bronze and ivory originated after 1900 in the style of Art Deco.

F. Peleschka mainly worked in the early 20th century, 1904-1919.

Art Deco, or Deco, is a style of visual arts, architecture and design that first appeared in France just before World War I. It became popular in the 1920s and 1930s, and influenced the design of buildings, furniture, jewellery and many more.
