"Isadora Duncan” Solid American Bronze Statue by Chiparus
Angela Isadora Duncan (May 27, 1877 – September 14, 1927) was an American dancer. Born in California, she lived in Western Europe and the Soviet Union from the age of 22 until her death at age 50. She performed to acclaim throughout Europe after being exiled from the United States for her pro-Soviet sympathies.
Duncan's fondness for flowing scarves contributed to her death in an automobile accident in Nice, France, when she was a passenger in an Amilcar. Her silk scarf, draped around her neck, became entangled around the open-spoked wheels and rear axle, breaking her neck.[1] In 1987, she was inducted into the National Museum of Dance's Mr. & Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt Whitney Hall of Fame.
This signed bronze sculpture is a high quality product, which is full of great detail in comparison to the original. (marble base may be different color than shown).Dimensions: 15"H x 5"L
About The Artist:

He produced most of his renowned works between and 1943. His later works in the 1920’s were influenced by his interest in Egypt, after the excavation of the Pharaoh Tutankhamen’s tomb. Some of his most exciting works are dancers taken from the Russian Ballet, French Theatre and early motion pictures.

Why we no longer offer free shipping for this item:
Free shipping is never "really" free. It's a myth, just like Elvis, the tooth fairy, Area 51 and Santa Claus. When a store offers you free shipping, they're making up those costs by making their products more expensive. If we were to calculate the shipping to the farthest distance to our location and added that to the cost of the product that would not be fair to those who are close, would it? Also, free shipping excludes those individuals who live in AK, HI & US protectorates because shipping is more expensive to those areas, so instead, we use calculated shipping by location. Compare our prices and our quality - often, our prices are much less than what other stores charge for the same quality item, make us an offer and if we can accept it, the item is yours. We believe in transparency, and accordingly, we don’t profit from the shipping cost, we pay a very simple, very fair, competitive cost for shipping and whatever we pay, we pass it on to you.
Return Shipping Costs:
If buyer refuses delivery without inspection, misses delivery appointment(s) or returns a non-defective or undamaged product, buyer will incur original shipping charges along with actual return shipping plus the aforementioned 25% restocking fees.
