Marcel-André Bouraine (1886–1948) was a French sculptor and a key figure of the Art Deco movement, best known for elegant small bronzes, bookends, lamps and car mascots. He worked mainly in bronze, ivory, metal d’art and glass, often combining stylised geometric lines with graceful, naturalistic poses.
