AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

• An Art Deco bronze dancer, with the typical chryselephantine style (clean lines, exotic pose, elegant arms).
• The signature 'D.H. Chiparus' is clearly engraved on the plinth.
• This refers to Demetre Chiparus (1886–1947), one of the great names in Art Deco sculpture.

Why this is correct:
• The pose (arms raised high and stylized, slightly contrapposto)
• The costuming (Orientalist / Egyptianizing influences)
• The materials: dark patinated bronze on a veined marble pedestal


Important nuance (honest & crucial):
• It is very likely a posthumous or serial casting, not an early original from circa 1925–1935.
• That is very common: many Chiparus models have been legally reissued after his death.
Original early specimens are rare and extremely expensive.

Indicative market value (realistic):
Posthumous/later casting: €800 – €2,500
