In an era when artists were capturing the exoticism and athleticism of modern dancers, such as Richmond Barthé's depiction of Féral Benga dancing with a large, curved sword or Paul Colin's drawings of Josephine Baker with her skirt of bananas, this sensuous presentation of a nude male dancer with a long spear stands out. The bronze was sculpted in 1926 by Brenda Putnam, who is best known for a series of bronzes showing children at play, often placed in gardens and parks. However, Putnam was ambitious to do more, leaving academic sculpture behind as she collaborated with architect Paul Philippe Cret to create the Puck Fountain for the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, D.C., executed a number of portraits in bronze, exhibited at the 1932 Olympics in Los Angeles, and created "The Crest" -- consisting of a a large male nude swimming...

This striking French Art Deco ceramic sculpture depicts a powerful black bear and was designed by Desbarbieux for the Saint-Clément manufactory in France during the 1920s. Combining a bold silhouette with carefully modeled details, the piece reflects the strong interest in stylized animal sculpture that characterized French decorative arts between the wars. The bear is presented in a long, low profile, giving the sculpture a dynamic and sculptural presence. Its deep black ceramic surface is enhanced by subtle bronze-green patination applied within the recessed areas of the eyes, ears, mouth, and signature. These carefully placed accents add depth, contrast, and visual richness while emphasizing the animal’s expressive features. Measuring 18.5 inches (47 cm) in width, 13.8 inches (35 cm) in height, and 4.5 inches (11.5 cm) in depth, this substantial ceramic sculpture is ideal for display on a console, mantel, sideboard, bookshelf, or pedestal. Its elegant proportions allow it to complement Art Deco, modernist, traditional, eclectic, or contemporary interiors. The sculpture bears the artist’s name, “Desbarbieux,” within the mold and is stamped “St Clément Made in France” on the interior, confirming its authorship and French manufacture. The Saint-Clément pottery, located in northeastern France, is well known for its decorative ceramics and artistic production. This rare 1920s French Art Deco bear sculpture...

Rich in movement and emotion, this striking work perfectly captures the elegance, sensuality, and modernity that define the Art Deco period. Executed in terracotta, the sculpture displays warm natural tones and finely modeled anatomical details, highlighting Cipriani’s remarkable ability to convey both strength and femininity. The dramatic upward gaze and fluid composition create a powerful visual presence, making this piece an outstanding focal point for an Art Deco interior, sculpture collection, or curated design space. The sculpture is signed "U. Cipriani" on the base, confirming its authenticity. Dimensions: Height: 24 in (61 cm) Width: 20.9 in (53 cm) Depth: 7.5 in (19 cm) Born in Florence, Ugo Cipriani studied at the Florence Academy of Fine Arts and became known for his mastery of marble, bronze, alabaster, and terracotta.

An exceptional, highly dynamic, and investment-grade French Art Deco patinated bronze figural sculpture titled "Scarf Dancer," masterfully executed by the celebrated Hungarian-born Parisian artist Alexandre Kéléty (1874–1940), circa 1925. Captured flawlessly in the accompanying photos, this iconic interwar composition perfectly embodies the kinetic energy, fluid rhythm, and avant-garde glamour of the Jazz Age. Cast in solid bronze, the athletic female figure is depicted poised mid-performance, balancing beautifully on a textured, rock-like incline that serves as the integrated bronze base. She holds aloft a deeply draped, wind-swept scarf that sweeps forward in a dramatic, fluid arc, serving as a brilliant architectural counterweight that creates magnificent sculptural tension. This specific example boasts an incredibly fine, crisp casting, retaining sharp, pristine delineation in the facial features, musculature, fingers, and the deep, precise folds of the drapery. The piece features a rich, warm golden-brown original living patina that beautifully highlights the sophisticated modeling. The work features Kéléty's incised script signature embedded directly into the bronze, accompanied by a crisp, early cast sequence or edition number "8" to the right. Additionally, it is authentically stamped "FRANCE" on the reverse side, a definitive mark of a genuine, early 20th-century lifetime foundry casting produced for the upscale international export market. Offered in excellent vintage condition with minor, age-appropriate surface wear, this signature Parisian Art Deco sculpture stands as a museum-worthy statement addition for discerning collectors.
