Tall 43" Italian Art Deco hand carved polychrome alabaster dancer circa 1930
About the Item
A large and finely hand-carved Italian dancer, circa 1930 signed : Prof. Eugenio Pattarino, made in Italy stands with arms outstretched in a graceful pose, adorned with a bodice, colorful fringed skirt, and jewelry, including arm bands, a necklace, and an ornate bodice reminiscent of a harem belly dancer. At her feet is a polychrome celadon green carpet with a painted design, covering a stepped plinth.
The skirt is extraordinary and the quality and natural veining of the stone captivates the viewer.
Alabaster is often called the "Eye of the Moon."
The ancient Egyptians named this stone, imbued with magic and mystery, after the cat goddess Bast. Bast, with her close connection to the sun and light, was also known as the “Eye of the Moon,” a name that perfectly suits alabaster. The fascination with this stone has endured through time. Symbolizing purity, alabaster is even believed to possess healing powers for the mind and emotions. This natural jewel is primarily found in the desert regions of Italy, England, Mexico, and the United States. A rare crystallization of gypsum, it is distinguished by its unique texture and translucent quality.
The sculpture is made in parts to accommodate the various natural types and colors of the stone that the artist wanted to utilize to depict the various components of the statue and thus the seams adjoining the different alabasters are visible

Pattarino :
Italian sculptor and ceramics artist Eugenio Pattarino, born in Florence in 1885, studied under Giovanni Fattori and was renowned mainly for his large-scale religious statues. He received his education in art in Florence, Venice, and Frankfurt. At his studio near the Ponte Vecchio Bridge, in addition to his sculptures, he designed earthenware, ceramic, and terracotta pottery. Pattarino's work reflected his love for modern, traditional, and antique styles.
In 1966, Pattarino retired after a flood destroyed most of his designs, master molds, and models in his studio. His marble, alabaster, terracotta, and enameled terracotta figural sculptures display his skill in both Realist and Abstract methods. His works intrigue collectors and admirers of period figural sculptures .

Monumental Important Art Deco Silver & Gilt Bronze Goddess G. Lavaroff
By Georges Lavroff
Located in New York City, NY
An exceptionally large and rare French Art Deco original bronze sculpture circa 1927 by a well known artist Georges Lavaroff (1895-1991)
It's quite uncommon to find this very large size and notably featuring the silver and parcel gilt finish.
The artwork features a majestic female nude, adorned with a stylized cloak in alternating stripes of gold and silver, which showcases a pyramid shape. The Egyptian goddess is depicted as an undraped figure with arms outstretched above her head, holding a crescent moon. She wears a north star headdress that adds to her regal appearance. The cloak is embellished with stars and a comet, and the female figure rests on a bed of stylized clouds. The sculpture is presented on its original black and gold marble base.
All of these attributes add to the uniqueness and value of the artwork, making it even more remarkable and sought after by collectors and art enthusiasts.
