Loïe Fuller. The Dancer
by LARCHE, Raoul-François, Gilt bronze, height 46 cm
Larche’s design for this decorative table lamp was inspired by the graceful movements of Loïe Fuller (1862-1928), one of the most celebrated dancers in Paris during the late 1890s and after. An American, Fuller had developed a style of dance based on the swirling and billowing movements of her diaphanous veiled costumes.
