Description from the seller
The object in the photo appears to be made of patinated spelter (a zinc-lead alloy) on a metal base. This was a popular material in the mid-20th century to imitate the look of more expensive bronze. The softer details in the face and limbs are typical for this kind of material.
The sculpture in the image is a copy of the Art Deco statue "Danseuse aux boules" (Dancer with balls) or "Danseuse with veil".
• Original artwork: The original sculpture was designed by the artist Denis (pseudonym for Marcel Bouraine or Pierre Le Faguays, often associated with the Max Le Verrier foundry).
• Producer: It was produced and sold by the famous French Art Deco foundry of Max Le Verrier around 1930.
• Style and material: It is a classic example of Art Deco style, often executed in patinated metal (also called 'art metal') on a marble or stone plinth.
• Variations: There are several variations of this sculpture, sometimes with a veil, sometimes with balls (such as the "Danseuse aux boules").
The sculpture in the image is likely a modern reproduction or a later casting based on this well-known original. The last photo is the listing of the original sculpture, which was previously offered on this site. The sculpture has only minor age-related damage. Also this copy will be a real eye-catcher in both a classic and modern interior.
