Rare Antique 20" French Art Deco Bronze Sculpture "Ankara Dancer" by Claire Colinet
For your consideration is an exceptional, investment-quality Art Deco bronze sculpture titled "The Ankara Dancer," created by the renowned French-Belgian master sculptor Claire Jeanne Roberte Colinet (1880–1950). Standing at an impressive 20 inches tall, this dynamic and heavy sculpture perfectly captures the fluid energy, dramatic motion, and theatrical exoticism of the 1920s and 1930s.
The sculpture depicts a female dancer captured mid-stride in an elegant, sweeping pose, balancing en pointe with one arm raised high. The casting exhibits fine, intricate detailing—from the beaded jewelry draped across her bodice to the realistic folds of her flowing harem pants. It features a beautiful, multi-toned vintage patina with rich dark bronze tones highlighting the structure of the figure.
The top of the integrated bronze architectural pedestal features the authentic, hand-incised script artist signature: "C.J.R. Colinet". The entire piece stands securely atop its original, heavy, circular green mottled marble display base, complete with its original brass nameplate stamped "COLINET".
