Bronze Sculpture by Louis Chalon: “Loie Fuller”

This stunning gilt and patinated bronze sculpture of American performer Loïe Fuller by Louis Chalon functions as a candelabra. This unexpected lighted aspect is located in the figure’s hands, which grip the flowing fabric while being thrown. It is within the material thrown from Fuller’s hands the candles would rest. Fuller was known and adored for her groundbreaking dance routines that featured costumes as a property.
