Royal Dux Monumental Porcelain Figure of a Graceful Maiden, Early 20th Century

1900 - 1920
For Sale by Ritas Bazaar
Description

A striking monumental porcelain figure by Royal Dux, representing a graceful young woman with a wrapped bouquet of roses, made in the early 20th century. With its 79 cm height and elegant vertical composition, the piece has the presence of an interior sculpture rather than a conventional mantel or cabinet ornament.

The softly flowing drapery, restrained palette and poised gesture give it the refined decorative character for which large Royal Dux figures are especially admired.

This model belongs to the Royal Dux tradition of Art Nouveau maidens, where feminine beauty is expressed through flowing lines, floral symbolism and controlled movement. The figure is especially appealing for the crispness of its modelling: the face is clearly defined, the hands and feet remain carefully articulated, and the folds retain their clarity.

While some Royal Dux figures display softened detail from long-used moulds, the modelling here remains notably crisp, giving the sculpture a particularly refined presence.

Figures of this scale rarely survive so well, and their scarcity on the market has helped support growing collector and decorative interest over time.

The underside bears the applied pink triangular mark reading “Royal Dux Bohemia” together with the impressed model number 1700.

This early 20th century Edwardian monumental porcelain figure by Royal Dux depicts a graceful young maiden in an Art Nouveau style. The sculpture shows a female figure standing on a naturalistic plinth with a raised arm, holding a floral bouquet at her waist, dressed in terracotta and cream coloured flowing drapery. The underside bears an applied pink triangular mark reading Royal Dux Bohemia and an impressed model number 1700, and the item displays slight paint wear to the bouquet. The sculpture measures 79 cm high, 19 cm wide, and 19.7 cm deep. It functions effectively as an interior sculpture placed on a sideboard top in a living room, hallway, or dining space in a home today.

FAQs

Art Nouveau porcelain figures are characterised by organic forms, sinuous flowing lines, and themes inspired by nature and classical mythology, popularised between the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Royal Dux production typically utilised soft-paste or hard-paste porcelain, often finished with a matte glaze, hand-painted polychrome enamels, and subtle gilding.

Authentic pieces feature the trademark raised pink porcelain triangle pad on the base, often impressed with the letter E and model numbers, alongside distinct factory backstamps.

Large porcelain figures work best as focal points on dark wood sideboards, consoles, or mantelpieces, paired with modern minimal accents to accentuate their sculpted silhouette.

Clean gently using a soft, dry microfibre brush or cloth to remove dust, avoiding harsh chemical cleansers or water immersion which can damage unglazed porcelain and gilding.
