This is a solid bronze nude woman sculpture from around 1920, standing a compact 7 inches tall (17.5 cm) on a turned pedestal base. The figure holds a draped cloth at her side and has crisp facial features and hair, with a warm brown patina that reads classic Art Deco. It is near mint, showing only tiny rubs and a touch of old verdigris at the base—normal for a piece that’s about 106 years old. Despite the small footprint—about 1.5 inches wide and 1.5 inches deep, with a 1.5 inch diameter base—it feels heavy and well balanced. Small bronzes like this were desk or mantel accents, and solid-bronze examples are less common than spelter versions, which makes this one a nicer, rarer find.

About the line: Art Deco bronzes of the 1919–1939 era favored stylized bathers and dancers, often produced by French, German, or Austrian foundries. Many were unsigned studio casts, made by lost-wax or sand casting and finished with heat-applied chemical patina. Collectors look for original surfaces, crisp details, and the tell‑tale heft of real bronze. Care is simple—dust only, avoid metal polishes. Authentic 1920 pieces in this size and condition are genuinely vintage and relatively scarce compared with later reproductions.
