Art Deco Sculpture “dancer With Balls” By Denis For Max Le Verrier, Circa 1920

Art Deco sculpture “Dancer with Balls” by Denis for Max Le Verrier, circa 1930

Artist: Denis for Max Le Verrier

Elegant Art Deco sculpture in art cast iron with a dark green patina, depicting a nude dancer holding an onyx ball in each hand.

Balancing on the tip of one foot, with the other leg gracefully bent, she extends her arms in a sweeping, harmonious motion. Her head is delicately tilted, and her hair, styled in stylized waves, emphasizes the delicacy of this slender silhouette, characteristic of the Art Deco aesthetic.

The two onyx spheres, with their soft honey-colored hues, contrast with the dancer’s dark patina and lend a beautiful luminosity to the composition.

The figure rests on a square pedestal bearing the DENIS signature, mounted on a black Portor-style marble base with golden veins and chamfered corners. This marble elegantly highlights the balance and lightness of the movement.

A sculpture full of grace that will naturally find its place on a console table, a dresser, or in a bookcase.
