Autumn Dancer Art Deco Bronze Statuette by Baranite

SKU: ETSY-4535724606

Autumn Dancer is an Art Deco bronze statuette from the Baranite Cameo Collection of Art Decoratif Sculptures. Produced by Baranite Ltd. of Baldock, Hertfordshire, it was made in England and is mounted on a polished display plinth.

The figure is cast in bronze, individually hand chased and cold painted by British craftsmen. Its elongated limbs, flowing drapery and poised, mid-performance stance reflect the elegance and theatricality associated with Art Deco decorative sculpture. Hand-painted highlights bring further definition to the bronze finish.

The Cameo Collection was created to celebrate sculptors associated with the Art Deco movement. Original Baranite literature describes small-scale works inspired by artists exhibited at the Paris Salons, made using traditional skills. Autumn Dancer, catalogue number ADM4, is listed as designed after the work of Johann Philipp Ferdinand (Fritz) Preiss.

Standing approximately 18 cm (7 inches) high, this piece forms part of the JewelAri Compendium of Curiosities. It offers a considered presence for a library, study, dressing room or curated cabinet.
