This French Art Deco female bronze statue from the 1930s is a testament to early twentieth-century craftsmanship. Cast in bronze with a warm golden-brown patina, the surface reveals subtle tonal transitions—satin-finished highlights, richer reddish accents, and gently oxidized, matte recesses that accentuate the aged metal’s depth. The composition is distinctly Art Deco: a stylized female profile with smooth features and sculptural hair rendered in bold geometric waves. Resting on a black, three-tiered, stepped base, the statue’s verticality and symmetry are emphasized by the crisp contrast of the matte foundation and the lustrous bronze above. The tactile quality of the piece is predominantly smooth, yet with occasional natural textural variations and historic patina. Signs of wear are minimal, with no visible damage or repairs, leaving it in excellent, near-original condition.
The sculpture reflects the spirit of its era—when streamlined forms, geometric rhythm, and a discreet sense of dynamism shaped the visual language of French interiors. The woman’s poised profile and flowing, architectonic hair evoke the optimism and restraint of the interwar period, suggesting a cityscape illuminated by soft light and modern silhouettes. The bronze surface, catching and diffusing the light, alludes to the refined ambiance of Parisian parlors, while the deep black base anchors the piece in a vocabulary of modernity.
This piece would serve as a visual anchor atop a walnut console or minimalist shelving, integrating seamlessly into sophisticated Art Deco, modernist, or eclectic Parisian spaces. It could be complemented by
