Large Art Deco Bronze Figure “Starfish Dancer” on Black Marble - Olive-Brown Patina - H. 48,6 cm

A dancer en pointe, slender and rising like a shimmering flame.

Hands joined to a point above her head, she wears a close-fitting beaded costume. With a small footprint and plenty of height she fits narrow niches, a column or a mantelpiece, and looks best lit from above, as on a miniature stage.

Craftsmanship

Each bead of the costume has been individually recut, so it sparkles with every change of light. Beneath the figure, a bronze plinth crowns two tiers of black marble ringed by a bronze band with a frieze.

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.
