Vintage 5ft Biba Bronze Deco Lady Sculpture 20th Century
About the Item
This is a stylish and high-quality solid bronze vintage Art Deco style Biba sculpture in the form of a sophisticated seated lady, frdating om the last quarter of the 20th century.
This striking bronze features an attractive semi-naked lady with the classic voguish Biba bob hairstyle holding a large round black marble serving tray.
She is depicted seated rather timidly with her head slightly facing downwards, her facial expression showing a shy smile. A robe flows above her legs which are firmly tight together, with the serving tray on top. The lovely proportions of the body make the whole sculpture look graceful and also add to the feeling of dignity and finesse that surround the calm figure.
It is raised on a sumptuous elegant tall tapering squared stand, which adds an extra touch of grandiosity to the whole sculpture
This high-quality hot cast solid bronze jardiniere was produced using the traditional "lost wax" process, otherwise known as the "cire perdue" method.
It features an attractive bronze patination and without a doubt, it will attract lots of attention wherever placed.

Lost Wax Method
sometimes called by the French name of cire perdue or the Latin, cera perduta is the process by which a bronze or brass is cast from an artists sculpture.
In industrial uses, the modern process is called investment casting. An ancient practice, the process today varies from foundry to foundry, but the steps which are usually used in casting small bronze sculptures in a modern bronze foundry are generally quite standardised.
