About the Item

Posing young revue dancer with a pageboy hairstyle, taking a step forward while lifting the bellflower-shaped hem of her short blue dress with a fur collar and colourful stylised floral decoration up with both hands to the side, forward and back. The figure is supported by a large tuft of grass on its left leg and stands on a black lozenge-shaped base. The artist's signature ‘Dakon’ is on the top of the base, behind the figure. This figure also exists as a group of two, as the 'Dolly Sisters' were actually a pair of twins. There is also a group of four, an extremely rare and elaborate version by the Goldscheider company as a special creation. The 'Dolly Sisters' Rosie Dolly (1892 - 1970) and Jenny Dolly (1892 - 1941), known professionally as Dolly Sisters, were Hungarian-American identical twin dancers, singers and actresses, popular in vaudeville and theatre during the 1910s and 1920s. Both sisters also appeared in two silent films. Designed by STEPHAN DAKON (1904 - 1992), one of the most important designers who worked for the Goldscheider manufactory from 1924 until the mid-fifties. Model 5649 was designed and made circa 1926/1927.
