Vintage Design
Posing young revue dancer with pageboy hairstyle, taking a step forward, at the same time raising the bellflower-shaped hem of her short purple dress with fur collar with both hands sideways to the front and back. A large tuft of grass supports the figure at her left leg. On a beige, diamond-shaped plinth with gray shading on the sides, artist’s signature ‘Dakon’ on the top of the plinth, behind the figure. This figure also exists as a group of two, as the ‘Dolly Sisters’ were actually a pair of twins. There is also a group of four, an extremely rare and elaborate version by the Goldscheider company as a special creation. The ‘Dolly Sisters’ Rosie Dolly (1892 – 1970) and Jenny Dolly (1892 – 1941), known professionally as Dolly Sisters, were Hungarian-American identical twin dancers, singers and actresses, popular in vaudeville and theatre during the 1910s and 1920s. Both sisters also appeared in two silent films. Designed by STEPHAN DAKON (1904 – 1992), one of the most important designerswho worked for the Goldscheider manufactory from 1924 until the mid-fifties.
