This Art Deco silvered bronze sculpture portrays a dynamic female figure holding a disc in a poised motion on one leg. The piece dates from 1930 and belongs to the Art Deco style, displaying a silver and black colour scheme through its metallic finish and dark stone. The figure possesses short wavy hair, outstretched arms, and stands atop a circular portoro marble and bronze pedestal featuring layered turnings, stepped metallic mouldings, and natural golden veining throughout the stone. The sculpture measures 33 cm high, 15 cm wide, and 7.3 cm deep. Positioned on a sideboard top, this ornament brings historical character and sculptural elegance to a living room, hallway, or study. The combination of silvered metal and dark veined marble offers a refined focal point that complements contemporary or period interior surfaces. The compact footprint allows placement within restricted display areas while maintaining a commanding vertical presence through the energetic posture of the dancer.

FAQs

Art Deco bronze sculptures feature stylised forms, dynamic athletic poses, and simplified geometric contours representing the human body. Popularised during the interwar period in Europe, these sculptures celebrated movement, modern dance, and physical agility through metalwork finishes.

Figures were cast in bronze using lost-wax or sand casting methods before being silvered, patinated, or cold-painted. Castings were frequently mounted onto turned or stepped marble, onyx, or slate bases to provide contrasting textures and structural weight.

Authentic period sculptures often exhibit incised artist signatures, foundry marks, or casting stamps on the metal surface or base perimeter. Genuine examples also feature fine hand-chasing, balanced proportions, and expected age-related wear or oxidisation to silver plating.

Position the sculpture on a focal surface such as a sideboard, mantelpiece, or console table against a neutral or dark backdrop. Pairing metallic artwork with clean-lined contemporary furniture allows the dynamic silhouette of the figure to stand out.

Dust the sculpture regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth to prevent airborne particulate accumulation. Avoid using liquid metal polishes or harsh chemical solvents, as these agents can permanently strip historical silver plating and patination.
