Ritas Bazaar has dated this Royal Dux Porcelain Maiden to the Edwardian era.
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.
