A Vintage Cast Bronze Figure of a Dancing Girl
This vintage cast bronze figure shows a young woman in mid-movement, lifting the full, flowing folds of her gown in both hands as she turns her head demurely to one side. The piece stands on a shaped, hexagonal plinth and is offered as a decorative sculpture for a desk, mantelpiece or display cabinet. No maker’s mark or foundry stamp is visible in the photograph, so the origin is best regarded as unattributed.
Good Overall Condition With Honest Patina Wear
The figure carries a rich, dark brown patina with warmer, lighter tones picked out on the high points of the face, arms and drapery, which is typical of hand-finished bronze that has been handled over the years. The fine pleating of the dress remains crisp and well defined, and there is no obvious loss to the figure’s hands, feet or the base. Light surface wear and minor knocks consistent with age are present, and buyers should view the photographs closely. Pieces of this period and style appeal to collectors of early twentieth century decorative sculpture and to those who enjoy the graceful, flowing form of the dancing girl motif.
