VERY RARE 1920s BRONZE ARMOR CO ART DECO NUDE ARCHED DANCING WOMEN BOOKENDS NUMBER 11 – THEY WEIGH JUST UNDER 3 POUNDS EACH – 4 1/2″ TALL x 7″ LONG x 2 3/8 WIDE – EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH EXPECTED PATINA MATCHING THEIR AGE. FROM MLC RESEARCH CENTRE AND GALLERY. Perhaps the most representative of the period is a bookend depicting a female dancer, mostly nude, her body dramatically arced. She is the liberated “new woman” so embraced by Art Deco artists and artisans, down to her bobbed hair and boyish figure. Her body is sleek, the metal gleaming, evocative in its expression of movement. The emblematic nature of this figure is expressed, also, by her abundance – The dancer bookends were made by Armor Bronze, an American company specializing in the creation and sale of decorative metal objects, from bookends to figurines to lamps. EXCELLENT CONDITION – I HAVE PROVIDED CLOSE-UPS – PLEASE ENLARGE AND VIEW ALL THE PICTURES AS THEY ARE PART OF THE DESCRIPTION.
