Lot 147: A Pair of Art Deco Style Chrome-Plated Metal Figures of Dancing Women on Marble Bases
A pair of decorative figures rendered in the Art Deco style. Each figure depicts a stylised nude female form in a dancing pose, positioned on tiptoe with arms raised high, holding a floral garland above her head. The sculptures are constructed from chrome-plated or silvered metal, likely white metal or spelter, featuring a bright, polished finish. Each figure is mounted on a square metal plinth, which is further set onto a rectangular base of cream-coloured marble or onyx with light brown veining and bevelled edges. The forms are characterised by the elongated proportions and simplified features associated with the early 20th-century aesthetic. Small adhesive inventory labels and a handwritten tag are present on the bases. No maker’s marks or signatures are visible.
Condition report:
The pair appears to be in good overall condition. The chrome-plated finish remains bright and reflective with minor surface wear and light scratches consistent with age and handling. The marble bases show no visible chips, cracks, or significant losses. Adhesive residue or labels are present on the bases.
