Art Deco “Hoop Dancer” by Charles – Le Verrier Foundry, Paris, Circa 1930

Signed “Charles” on base

This dynamic and graceful Art Deco bronze sculpture, known as Hoop Dancer or Danseuse à l’Anneau, captures the elegance and movement of the modern woman during the Jazz Age. Cast in patinated metal and mounted on a polished marble base, the figure is poised mid-dance with arms raised high, elegantly holding a gilded metal hoop that frames her in a circular rhythm of motion.

Signed “Charles” on the base and cast at the renowned Le Verrier foundry in Paris, this sculpture is a fine example of French Art Deco design and production quality. The dancer’s costume features chased detailing and a soft green patina, typical of Le Verrier studio works from the period. Whether interpreted as a Bayadère or cabaret performer, the figure radiates confidence and sensual energy. A must-have piece for collectors of period sculpture, decorative arts, or anyone inspired by the expressive stylization of the 1920s and ’30s.
