Art Deco Fan Dancer Sculpture, Solid Cast Bronze in the Manner of Josef Lorenzl
A captivating study of kinetic energy and Art Deco elegance.
A commanding, solid bronze study of the Jazz Age spirit. This heavy, hot-cast sculpture pays homage to the celebrated Austrian sculptor Josef Lorenzl (1892–1950), capturing the iconic "Fan Dancer" motif that defined the visual language of the 1920s.
The piece depicts a flapper in a moment of suspended kinetic energy, her elongated limbs and sweeping drapery forming a dramatic, architectural arch. The significant weight of the solid bronze gives the figure a physical presence that anchors any space it inhabits.
This is a substantial piece that demands attention. It serves as a sophisticated counterpoint to the clean, horizontal lines of Mid-Century Modern furniture. We recommend styling it on a warm teak sideboard (such as a Parker or Fler credenza) where the dark metal can contrast against the timber grain, or placing it solo on a glass console.
Excellent Vintage Condition. The piece retains its original rich, dark-chocolate patina, with minor age-appropriate wear to the base and high points, which attests to its history and material authenticity. The underside reveals the raw cast bronze construction, confirming the material quality. No structural damage or repairs.
