Who is Ruffiny ?

Oscar Ruffoni (1874–1946), known professionally as RUFFONY, was a Swiss-born artist from Magadino, near the Italian border, who spent much of his career in France. His work is characterized by a blend of Art Nouveau and Art Deco styles, often focusing on religious themes. Ruffony's creations include embossed brass medallions, holy water fonts, and religious plaques, many of which are signed with his distinctive mark. His pieces are notable for their craftsmanship and are sought after by collectors of early 20th-century religious art

During the interwar period, the Art Deco movement in France extended far beyond fashion and architecture—it influenced sacred art as well. Artists like RUFFONY brought a new visual language to religious representation: clean lines, noble materials, and spiritual dignity without excessive ornament.

This piece was likely created for a private home or chapel, symbolizing both faith and refined taste, in an era where religion met modern aesthetics. 🇫🇷
