Erte Limited Editions & Originals

Revering worldwide as the "Father of Art Deco," Erté (Romain de Tirtoff, 1892–1990) defined the visual glamour and theatrical sophistication of the 20th century. Herndon Fine Art specializes in acquiring and evaluating original Erté limited edition serigraphs, metallic foil-stamped graphics, gouache fashion studies, and cold-cast bronze sculptures. Every piece in our gallery inventory undergoes thorough condition inspection to verify foil preservation, paper integrity, patination, and signature authenticity.

From his legendary covers for Harper’s Bazar and costume designs for the Folies-Bergère to his celebrated late-career graphic suites and bronze collections (including the Alphabet and Numbers series), Erté artwork remains a cornerstone of high-end print and sculpture collecting. Sourcing directly through established private estates and trusted collector partnerships, we provide serious collectors access to lifetime hand-signed serigraphs, rare artist proofs, and archival-framed works with verified provenance.

Evaluating Erté serigraphs and bronze sculptures on the secondary market demands precise verification of delicate hot-stamped foil layers, chop marks, foundry stamps (such as Sevenarts or Chalk & Vermilion), and hand-signed numbering. Herndon Fine Art assists collectors in distinguishing lifetime hand-signed graphics from open-run reproductions, assessing bronze patinas, and evaluating long-term archival conservation. We offer clear, transparent guidance to ensure every fine art acquisition is documented and secure.

Whether you are looking to acquire a specific Erté metallic serigraph, add an authenticated Art Deco bronze sculpture to your collection, or discuss consigning a piece, Herndon Fine Art provides personal, expert consultation.
