About the Item

A rare Swedish Art Deco napkin holder from the 1930s, beautifully cast in bronze, featuring a stylized nude female dancer in a dramatic, arched pose. The figure is mounted against a semicircular bronze backdrop, enhancing the sculptural silhouette and creating a refined sense of movement. This piece is a fine example of Scandinavian Art Deco, where functionality and form go hand in hand. Likely produced in Sweden during the interwar period, the napkin holder combines elegance, craftsmanship, and artistic flair — turning an everyday object into a decorative sculpture.

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.
