This American Art Deco sculpture dates from 1920 and takes the form of a dancing girl. Cast from bronze with a dark green patina, the piece portrays a nude female figure captured mid-dance with bent arms, long hair trailing down her back, and one foot resting upon a square pedestal that features tiered stepped mouldings at the base. Visible details include the signature of Mario Korbel and a Roman Bronze Works NY mark along the edge of the base. The sculpture measures 27.5 cm high, 12.5 cm wide, and 10 cm deep. Placed upon a mantelpiece, the sculpture brings a dynamic sculptural element to living rooms, studies, or display cabinets within a contemporary home.

FAQs

Art Deco bronze sculptures typically feature dynamic figures, geometric contours, and expressive movement inspired by early 20th-century dance and modernism.

These sculptures were generally cast using the lost-wax process or sand-casting methods, followed by hand-chasing and the application of a chemical patina.

Authentic pieces often feature foundry stamps, maker marks, or artist signatures cast directly into the base, alongside natural age-related patination.

A small bronze sculpture functions well as an accent piece placed on a mantelpiece, bookshelf, or side table to add historical interest and texture.

Dust regularly with a dry, soft cloth and apply a thin layer of clear microcrystalline wax annually to protect the original patinated surface.
