Rare French, hand painted faience art deco night light.
Made of white clay of a naked dancer with butterfly wings.
Hand signed under the base D’argyl.
Inspired by the stage dance Niddy Impekoven, a German actress active in the 1920s who wore a butterfly wing costume.
The same performer inspired Joseph Lorenzl in his design for Goldscheider as the captured bird.
16. 5 inches (41cm) long, 5.5 inches (14cm) deep, 14 inches (36cm) high.
This is a night/mood light so the glow from the bulb is low.
Rewired with a black silk flex wire.
In good working condition.
