Art Deco Sculpture (Paul Philippe 1870-1930)

  
A very rare bronze sculpture of a draped woman. Depicting a dancer in pure Art Deco style. A beautiful posture with her arm outstretched towards the sky holding a draped fabric. The piece is made of bronze with a beautifully nuanced greenish-gray patina. It rests on a Portor marble base. And "bronze" on the statue. An old edition casting, circa 1930. A superb and extremely rare piece created for the luxury stores of the time. A similar model can be found for sale that bears the "Ovington" mark.

Famous importer of luxury items of the time, "Ovington Brothers." For your information, the last photo shows an identical model signed "Paul Philippe" and sold at auction, and therefore does not belong to the lot.
