ABOUT PRODUCTID 15647
Art Deco of the 1930s remains one of the most unambiguous expressions of modern elegance in interwar Europe, and this bisque porcelain torch bearer figurine—created as an official keepsake for the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games—embodies the style in its restrained, velvety white finish. Crafted in Germany, the figure stands 26 cm tall; its surface is uniformly matte, offering a tactile contrast to the sharply defined yet understated modeling of details: sculpted athletic physique, dynamic stride, simplified drapery, and a geometric, square plinth bearing a low-relief depiction of the Olympic rings. The conscious restraint—absence of gloss, extraneous ornamentation, or random decorations—uncovers the directness of Art Deco and its preoccupation with form and movement. There are no signs of damage, chips, restoration, or discoloration; only minimal traces of shelf wear are present on the base underside. Condition: in excellent vintage shape, fully original and unrestored. The figurine carries the concise spirit of the 1930s: sport as a metaphor for modernity, discipline of the body, and convention of style blend in gestures both deliberate and captured in porcelain. The runner’s face and posture are lightly idealized—a stylized snapshot of Olympic momentum, refracted through the lens of Art Deco, with movement and geometry sharing space with history and concept. The bisque’s matte, soft texture absorbs light, making every contour a discreet echo of those historic Games—a fragment of not only sporting but also design heritage. The piece can be positioned alongside other period keepsakes, set atop a marble console or within a tableau of geometric photo frames and graphics, especially in refined collector interiors. It would perform well in living rooms with modernist or eclectic themes, acting as an understated
