Ferdinand Preiss (1882-1943) was one of the most famous German sculptors of the Art Deco period. Based in Berlin, he made a name for himself with his chryselephantine sculptures combining bronze and ivory, mainly depicting dancers, cabaret performers and elegant female figures. His works, inspired by the refined aesthetics of the Roaring Twenties, are today highly sought-after by Art Deco collectors.
