Ferdinand Faivre (1860-1937) was a French sculptor known for his elegant and decorative works created in various materials. A student of renowned masters such as Jean-Paul Aubé, Louis-Ernest Barrias, Gustave Deloye, and André-Joseph Allar, he embraced the academic tradition while incorporating an Art Nouveau sensibility.

Faivre regularly exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Français from 1882 to 1925, earning praise for the refinement of his work. In 1900, he was awarded a bronze medal at the Paris Exposition Universelle. His creations are characterized by their delicate aesthetic and meticulous craftsmanship, often intended to adorn public buildings or prestigious private spaces.

He received numerous commissions from the French State and the City of Paris, thus contributing to the enrichment of urban decorative heritage. His sculptures were also reproduced in bronze, pewter, silverware, or ceramics by renowned publishers such as Siot-Decauville, Edmond Lachenal, and Adrien Dalpayrat.

Today, his works stand as a testament to the artistic richness of the late 19th and early 20th centuries and can be found in public collections, notably at the Musée d’Orsay.
