Art Deco Bronze Figure “Lady on a Bar Stool” with Compact - Olive-Brown Patina - H. 27 cm

A moment from a 1920s bar: she is touching up her rouge.

Legs crossed, the young woman perches on the tall stool with the little compact close to her face, wearing a turban, pearl necklace and bangles. On a home bar, a dressing table or in a walk-in wardrobe, the slender figure brings glamour in the smallest format.

Craftsmanship

Dress folds, jewellery and the wrapped turban cloth are finely recut. The stool with its foot ring is cast in one piece with the figure and serves as its only stand, and the olive-brown patina is lightened at the edges.

Care

A soft dusting brush or a dry microfibre cloth is all it needs. Avoid polishes and metal cleaners, which would wear away the patina.
