Antinea, Bronze Statue by Demetre Chiparus ~ Monumental

$8,625.00 price_excluding_tax

Antinea is a fictional character, specifically the queen of the lost city of Atlantis, from Pierre Benoit’s 1919 novel “L’Atlantide” and its 1921 film adaptation. She is portrayed as a seductive and cruel temptress who lures men to her lair, only to enbalm them in gold after they are captured. Antinea is often described as a figure of Oriental mystique, characterized by her beauty and power.

This “Antinea” is a sculpture of a superb Art Deco Dancer signed by D.H. Chiparus. The portrayed woman is wearing a beautiful cape and a beautiful costume while standing in an exciting statue position. She is standing on tiptoes, arms up in the air and her cape fits over her entire body. The whole epiphany can be called impressive. The life-sized signed bronze sculpture is a high quality product, which is full of great detail in comparison to the original. 

Heavy with the influences of the Russian ballet and theater, this collectible, museum-quality sculpture by Romanian-born and Paris-trained artist Chiparus boasts exquisite flesh tones enhanced to replicate ivory. True to the Art Deco period, his graceful dancer standing on a high platform is cast in the purest American bronze and set atop a bronze base, is exquisitely hand-finished with beautiful multi-colored patinas from her outstretched arms to the magnificent cape seductively carrying the eye the length of her lithe female form.

Dimensions:  72” H X 31” L X 17 1/2” W. Weight 300 Lbs.

Description

Our handcrafted bronze sculptures are cast in the finest American bronze using the superior lost wax method, finished in a multi-color patina and mounted on a black marble base with an etched brass plate that bears the name of the statue and the artist. Marble base on most smaller statues is included but optional, please let us know if you don’t want your statue mounted on a marble base.

jumbo, life-size, monumental and heroic sizes do not come with a marble base.

Made to order, please allow 4-8 weeks for production and delivery.

Color Choices – We usually cast and finish many of our sculptures with what is referred as multi-color patina. Our bronze sculpture selection may also be customized in a number of fire-applied patinas, such as classic French Brown, Verdigris, Italian Green as well as Gold and other custom finish options. All bronze statuary will develop a natural patina when left in nature’s elements. The aged patina on bronzes is often desired, but if not, can be prevented by care and cleaning of the bronze statue with a mild soap and water and by applying beeswax or other polish to prevent an aged patina from forming. Color selection is more a matter of customer preference.

*Please note that most of our Bronze Statues / Sculptures sizes Jumbo, Monumental, and Heroic can be made into a fountain if desired. Contact us for prices. Under the Notes / Comments enter the description of where you want the water to come out.
