About the Item

This listing is for a Classic and striking Art Deco copper sculpture depicting a dancing nude by Henri Lautier who was a French Sculpture. The sculpture stands at approx 12.25 inches tall, 6" wide, and 6" deep. The figure is mounted on a round copper base. The underside of the base is marked with the year 1928 and the initials of the foundry G. Thew, for Robert Garrett Thew. The condition of the piece is very nice, with no damage, and a great patina on the copper which only age will produce. Robert Garrett Thew (1892-1964) was born in Sharon, CT and studied at Syracuse University under Edward Penfield (1866-1925), Walter Biggs (1886-1968), and John F. Carlson (1875-1947). He was commissioned by the WPA in the 1930s to provide works of art for several buildings in Westport, CT. Works are held by the Newark Museum. He specialized in bronze sculpture, lamp bases, signs, and weathervanes. Toward the end of his life he returned to landscape painting.

Elegant Art Deco Bronze Figure of a Dancing Woman, Sweden, 1930s
By Carl Milles
Located in Frederiksberg C, DK
Elegant Art Deco Bronze Figure of a Dancing Woman, Sweden, 1930s Elegant handcrafted bronze sculpture depicting a stylized female figure standing gracefully with a subtle, upward-reaching posture. The silhouette is elongated and refined, typical of the late Art Deco period, emphasizing harmony, movement, and the timeless beauty of the human form. Cast in solid bronze, the piece has a rich, naturally aged patina that shifts between warm golden-brown and darker bronze tones, giving the surface depth and visual texture. Small areas of verdigris, particularly along the upper edge of the base, attest to the sculpture’s age and authenticity while adding a soft, organic accent. The figure stands on a stepped, square bronze base with softly rounded corners, complementing the fluidity of the sculpture’s form. It is unsigned, but the work bears stylistic similarities to Scandinavian bronze sculpture...
