Description

Art Deco bronze figure Dancer of Carthage by Claire Jeanne Roberte Colinet. A stunning and well modelled bronze figure of an exotically dressed woman dancing with a snake. Very finely cast and with excellent hand finished detail. The patinated bronze showing a faint gold wash to parts of her hair and dress. Signed in the bronze and standing on a marble base. A superb and impressive work of art

Excellent original condition. Made in France c 1920

Claire Jeanne Roberte Colinet (1880–1950) A French sculptor of Belgian birth who worked during the early-to-mid 20th century. She studied in Paris and was a pupil of Jef Lambeaux. The subject matter of her best known works was primarily Arab female dancers. The majority of her career output in sculpture can be classified as being of the Art Deco style. Colinet was a frequent exhibitor at the Salon des Artistes Francais and Salon des Independents art exhibitions in Paris. Her sculptures, most of which depicted beautifully figured, energized, and dramatic female forms, were exhibited posthumously at the Paris Salon for nearly 30 years.

Art Deco (1920-1930s) is a style of decorative arts which first emerged in France, characterised by its geometric style. Art Deco was the successor to Art Nouveau, and a key differentiator is the influence of cubism associated with iconic artists like Pablo Picasso. Deco influenced architectural design, such as the Chrysler Building in New York, furniture, jewellery, fashion, cars and even domestic objects such as vacuum cleaners. René Jules Lalique is considered one of the key influencers of the art deco movement. After a successful career making jewellery in the art nouveau style, he started to make press-moulded, glass vases in his factory in the Alsace region of France.

Art Deco bronze sculptures from the 1920s and 1930s typically feature dynamic, stylized figures inspired by theatrical performances, modern dance, and exotic motifs. Artists emphasized movement, tension, and fluid lines, often mounting the cast figures onto contrasting stone or marble plinths.

These sculptures were cast in bronze using the lost-wax (cire perdue) or sand-casting methods, then finished with applied patinas ranging from dark brown to green or gold. They were customarily set upon bases carved from onyx, marble, or alabaster.

Authentic period bronzes usually display incised sculptor signatures, foundry stamps, and evidence of hand-chasing in the metalwork. The patina should show natural, uneven wear consistent with age, and the attachment to the marble base should exhibit period fixing methods.

A bronze figure functions well as a focal accent on a sideboard, mantelpiece, or desk. Positioning the piece against a neutral backdrop or near indirect lighting highlights the sculptural form, dark patina, and natural veining of the stone base.

Dust the bronze gently with a soft microfibre cloth or light brush, avoiding water and abrasive chemical cleaners. A light application of clear microcrystalline wax can be buffed on to protect the patina, while marble bases should be wiped dry to prevent staining.
