Description

Superb French Art Deco (1920s) cold-painted bronze of a Russian dancer by Paul Philippe (1870-1930). A magnificent example of Art Deco sculpture, beautifully modelled and cast, the energetic and graceful dancer has been frozen on one leg, grasping the space with her hands. The figure is full of expression and twisted in a spiral, where the heavy oriental belt is balanced by the impulse of the body and the tilt of the face. Unsigned. Was probably signed on the marble base, which has been changed. Ca. 35cm high (including base) x 19cm wide x 120cm deep, weight 2.55kg.

Excellent condition and patina.

Paul Philippe (1870–1930) was born in Thorn in Poland and studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, France, under the direction of Antonin Larroux (1859–1913). He exhibited with success at all the French salons. Philippe worked in both the Art Nouveau and Art Deco styles, working in bronze, bronze and ivory and pure ivory. His figures are sought after worldwide by collectors.

Art Deco sculpture is characterised by streamlined forms, dynamic movement, and influences from global cultures, often depicting dancers, athletes, and stylised animals in bronze and ivory.

These pieces were typically crafted using the lost-wax casting method in bronze, then finished with cold-painted polychrome details or patinas, and frequently mounted on marble or onyx bases.

Authenticity is determined by crisp casting details, proper weight distribution, foundry marks, artist signatures, and the natural ageing and patination of the bronze and its stone base.

Place the sculpture as a focal point on a mantelpiece, sideboard top, or office desk where its silhouette and metallic finish can catch the light against neutral or dark backgrounds.

Dust gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoiding any harsh chemical cleaners, abrasives, or moisture that could damage the delicate cold-painted polychrome finishes.
