AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Add a touch of pure theatrical elegance to your collection with this splendid sculpture that celebrates the beauty and fluidity of female movement.

Created in finely worked white matte resin, the statue offers a refined visual effect reminiscent of the famous French satin-glass and glass paste sculptures by masters of the Art Déco period.

The figure depicts a dancer in a plastic and sinuous pose, with arms raised and the body fully extended above a stepped base with a geometric and structured feel. The matte finish catches ambient light, creating soft plays of shadow that enhance the anatomical details and the drapery of the garment.

Why should this piece be in your home?
- The contrast between the geometric lines of the base and the fluid forms of the figure immediately captures the eye.
- The satin resin provides the visual effect of art plaster or satin glass, combined with outstanding sturdiness and durability over time.
- Perfect to place on a console, an antique bookshelf, or a living room coffee table to create an elegant and exclusive setting.

Although produced in the second half of the 20th century, this sculpture faithfully echoes the formal language of the great sculptors of the 1920s and 1930s, such as Pierre Le Faguays (known by the pseudonym Fayral), Josef Lorenzl, and Max Le Verrier.

At that time, the theme of the modern, free dancer became the quintessential symbol of emancipation and modernity.

The choice of white matte resin echoes the famous tradition of French glass manufacturers like Lalique and Maison Sabino, which made the processing of satin- and frosted-glass a prize-winning hallmark at the Paris International Expositions of 1925.

An exceptional opportunity to acquire a classical-inspired and aesthetically flawless piece of furniture. Make your offer to enrich your home with a touch of pure class!

Seller's Story

Welcome to our Catawiki store. Our journey in online sales began back in 2004, driven by a clear vision: creating online auctions dedicated to high-value objects. Today, more than twenty years later, we carry forward that exact same vision. We are proud to have remained a small, family-run business, yet operating with the solidity and scale of major industry professionals: each year, we welcome more than 100 new clients, purchase over 150 lots, and select between 3,000 and 5,000 unique items to offer you. Our commitment is reflected in everything we do, from the initial find to the final delivery to your doorstep: • A Purchase with Social Value: Buying from us means securing a great deal while actively supporting the future of young Italian students. We collaborate closely with 3 graphic design and advertising schools in Milan, Bergamo, and Lecco. We invest our time and expertise to teach these students the secrets of online sales, professional photography, and marketing. By choosing us, you are tangibly contributing to their education and career paths. • Field Research and Discovery: For years, we have been personally scouting the most remote locations across Lombardy to find unique pieces, rarities, oddities, and mid-century modern design. • We Invest Our Own Capital: We do not sell on consignment. We invest our own capital upfront to purchase and restore every single item, taking on all the risks ourselves. • Direct Dealings with No Intermediaries: We manage every single price personally. This allows us to eliminate third-party costs and ensure you get the best possible profit margin as a buyer or collector. • Meticulous Restoration and Quality Control: We get our hands dirty. Every item is carefully restored and verified with an obsessive eye for detail before going up for auction. • Secure and Eco-Friendly Shipping: To prevent inflated shipping costs and ensure indestructible packaging, my wife and I head out almost every evening, often at unusual hours, to collect heavy-duty industrial cardboard from businesses in our neighborhood. We hand-select only pre-evaluated, ultra-resistant materials to offer you maximum protection at the lowest possible cost. Choosing our lots means relying on the historic expertise of a family that has lived this passion since 2004, while investing in the next generation. Our schools and students thank you deeply for your trust. Happy bidding!
