Early 20th-Century French Gilded Metal Statue – “Rêverie”

About the Item

This charming early 20th-century French figurine, titled Rêverie (meaning “Daydream”), beautifully captures the elegance and romanticism of the Belle Époque period. Crafted in gilded metal, the statue portrays a young woman in a flowing, finely detailed dress, her head gently tilted in a thoughtful, dreamy expression. The sculptor masterfully conveys a sense of serenity and grace, with delicate facial features, softly curled hair, and floral embellishments adorning her attire. Her long gown seamlessly transitions into an organic, almost tree-like base, a hallmark of the Art Nouveau style, where natural elements blend harmoniously into decorative arts. The statue stands on a rectangular plinth inscribed with Rêverie, further emphasizing the contemplative nature of the piece. This exquisite sculpture embodies the refined craftsmanship and poetic aesthetics of early 20th-century French art, making it an ideal decorative accent for collectors of Art Nouveau, Belle Époque, or romantic figurative sculptures. Whether placed on a mantel, bookshelf, or display cabinet, this piece brings an air of nostalgia and artistic beauty to any space.
