Large Art Deco Bronze Figure “Harlequin Dancer” on Black Marble - Brown Patina - H. 69,8 cm

A harlequin dancer balanced on one foot, arms flung wide, a statement for large rooms.

One knee drawn high and head slightly bowed beneath her cap, she wears the diamond costume of the commedia dell’arte character who shaped stage and art in 1920s Paris. In a foyer, a hotel reception, on a pedestal or a grand piano she looks like a snapshot from the ballet.

Craftsmanship

Alternate diamonds are filled with beading and the rest left smooth, so the pattern changes as the light moves. A round bronze plinth and a stepped black marble foundation support the brown-patinated figure.

Care

A soft brush or a dry microfibre cloth is enough. Avoid metal cleaners, and keep acids such as wine or lemon away from the marble.
