Art Deco Spelter Figurine by Josef Lorenzl, C1930

1920 - 1940
For Sale by Art Deco World
Description

For your consideration is this delightful Art Deco figure depicting a young woman in the fashion of the day. Dating to the 1930's and mounted on an Onyx base, although not signed we believe this figure to be by Josef Lorenzl. The detailing is lovely, from the crimped bob hair cut to the fine delicate hands. She's in great condition,

Showing some black spots and wear through but nothing unsightly and only visible on close inspection, a chip to the Onyx base and half of a finger is missing but in all honesty not noticeable unless you search or specifically look for it. She's a good height and displays beautifully.

Josef Lorenzl (Austrian, 1892 ~ 1950)

An Art Deco figurine depicting a young woman in a stylised evening gown, created in the 1930s. The piece combines a silver-coloured spelter figure with a cream-coloured, tiered square onyx base, showing black spots, surface wear, a chip to the onyx, and a partially missing finger on the delicate hand. Measuring 24.5 cm high, 8 cm wide, and 5 cm deep, this sculpture stands upright on a flat surface. Place this statue upon a sideboard top or mantlepiece in a living room, hallway, or study as a decorative ornamental accent. The elongated silhouette and dynamic dancer pose complement interiors themed around early twentieth-century glamour and modernist design.

Art Deco sculptures from the 1930s typically feature stylised human figures, an emphasis on fluid motion, theatrical poses, and streamlined silhouettes that reflected the modern aesthetic of the interwar period.

Art Deco statuettes were frequently cast in speltera zinc alloyor bronze, finished with silvering, cold-painted enamel, or patination, and mounted onto step-profile onyx, marble, or alabaster bases.

Authentic period pieces exhibit crisp cast detailing, natural wear to the original surface plating or paint, appropriate physical weight for the alloy, and era-correct stepped or geometric stone bases.

Positioning an Art Deco figurine on a console table, bookshelf, or sideboard creates a focal point that adds architectural interest and complements modern minimalist or classic interior schemes.

Dust the figure gently using a soft, dry brush or microfibre cloth, avoiding chemical polish, liquid cleaners, or water which can strip original surface finishes and discolour porous stone bases.
