ABOUT

Lorenzl Curtsy

Josef Lorenzl (1892–1950) was one of the leading sculptors of the Art Deco period in Vienna, renowned for his elegant and highly stylised female figures. Trained initially as a modeller at the Vienna Arsenal foundry, Lorenzl developed exceptional technical skill in casting and finishing bronze, which underpinned the refinement of his later work. By the 1920s and 1930s, he had established himself as a key figure in the Viennese decorative arts movement.

Lorenzl’s sculptures are characterised by elongated, graceful forms and a strong sense of movement. His female figures—often depicted as dancers—embody the energy and glamour of the Jazz Age, with flow.

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Art Deco cold-painted bronzes are cast bronze figures popularised in the 1920s and 1930s, decorated after casting with cold enamels or metallic paints to create distinctive coloured surfaces without re-firing.

Artisans typically used cast bronze, often decorated with cold-painted enamels, silvering, or gilding, mounted on carved onyx or marble plinths.

Authentic period pieces feature crisp casting detail, appropriate visual weight, natural wear to the painted surface, and maker signatures cast directly into the metal or marble base.

These statues serve as focal accents placed on mantelpieces, sideboards, or bookshelves alongside geometric decor or framed period prints.

Dust gently with a dry microfibre cloth, keeping the piece away from direct moisture, chemical solvents, or abrasive polishes that damage the paint layer.
