An Art Nouveau Large Bronze Dancer Statue signed Gustave Galle

Selling Title: Large Art Nouveau Bronze Dancer by Galle Description: A striking and elegant large Art Nouveau bronze sculpture of a dancer, signed Galle, capturing a moment of graceful movement with arms raised and body arched in a fluid, expressive pose.

The warm bronze patina displays rich tonal variation, highlighting the sculptural depth and surface detail throughout. The dancer stands poised on an ornate circular base with decorative relief work, raised on a substantial marble plinth, giving the piece impressive scale and presence. Signed to the base “Galle”, attributed to Gustave Galle, a French sculptor active in the early 20th century. His work is associated with the transition from late Art Nouveau into the emerging Art Deco period, producing expressive figural bronzes that were both decorative and commercially successful. Pieces bearing his signature are increasingly sought after for their strong design and period authenticity. Condition: Excellent with a natural aged patina and no damage or losses.
