Item Description: Jumbo 22” Bronze "Starfish Dancer"

This is an impressive, large-scale (Jumbo) bronze sculpture of the world-famous "Starfish Dancer." Standing at a commanding 22 inches, this piece captures the iconic Art Deco spirit with incredible presence. The figure is celebrated for its intricate detail, showcasing a form-fitting costume textured with starfish, squid, scales, and shells.

Premium Bronze-on-Bronze Construction:

Unlike common reproductions that use marble or resin bases, this premium edition features a solid bronze tiered base. This provides a seamless, weighted, and incredibly sturdy foundation.

The Complexity of a "Jumbo" Casting:

A 22-inch "Jumbo" casting is significantly more rare and valuable than standard 12-inch or 16-inch versions for several reasons:

Material Volume: This sculpture utilizes more than double the raw bronze of standard-sized versions, resulting in a heavy, museum-quality weight.

Technical Expertise: Casting a figure of this scale and detail requires advanced foundry skills. Maintaining the delicate balance and the high-relief "marine" textures across a larger surface area is a high-risk process that only master artisans can achieve.

Presence: At nearly two feet tall, this is not a shelf figurine—it is a true high-end centerpiece designed for a grand entryway, mantle, or gallery pedestal.

Condition & Finish:

The bronze features a rich, multi-toned chocolate patina with golden undertones that highlight the intricate suit details. It is in absolutely lovely vintage condition, retaining its original luster with no oxidation or damage. It has been meticulously and gently cleaned to remove surface dust and grime while preserving the authentic aged patina—it has not been polished, ensuring the metal's natural character remains intact
