'The Juggler', an Art Deco Bronze Figure, by Claire J. R. Colinet, circa 1925

About the Item

'The Juggler' - A fine Art Deco silvered bronze figure, by Claire J. R. Colinet. French, circa 1925. Engraved to base 'CL J.R. Colinet'. This dramatic and large silvered bronze figure by Colinet depicts a nude female figure in an elegant pose balancing a ball on her fingers and toes. The figure is raised on a stepped variegated onyx base. Born in Brussels, Claire Jeanne Roberte Colinet (1880--1950) studied sculpture with Jef Lambeaux, exhibiting for the first time at the Salon des Artistes Français in 1913 and was elected a permanent member of the salon in 1929. From 1937 to 1940, she exhibited at the Salon des Independants in Paris and joined the Union of Women Painters and Sculptors. Colinet's work is primarily in the Art Deco style, and her models included odalisques, exotic dancers, jugglers and cabaret artists. Her preferred casting material was bronze; however, a number of her most distinguished sculptures are chryselephantine, being a combination of both bronze and ivory. Literature: Catley, Brian. Art Deco and other Figures, Antique Collectors' Club, (Woodbridge, UK), 2003; p. 119.

An Orientalist Lifesize Figural Bronze Statue, Attributed to Louis Hottot
By Louis Hottot
Located in Brighton, West Sussex
An Orientalist Lifesize Figural Bronze Statue, Attributed to Louis Hottot (French, 1834-1906). Modelled as a lady in Ottoman dress standing beneath an Eastern style pagoda with minaret. Depicting as if answering a call and stepping forward in greeting. France, Circa 1890. This impressive figural group is a rare work in bronze attributed to the Orientalist sculptor Louis Hottot whose oeuvre is more readily associated with what was called ‘bronze imitation’, referring to sculpture in white-metal or, as it is known today, spelter. That this large statue is cast from superior and costly bronze is indicative of its rarity and importance. The Orientalist subject relates to paintings by Jean-Léon Gérôme (1824–1904), Ludwig Deutsch (1855–1935) Gustav Bauernfeind...
