AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Decorative sculpture – Stylized cat – Art Deco – 20th century

Elegant sculpture representing a stylized cat, with clean lines and an elongated posture, typical of the Art Deco aesthetic.
The artwork is made of carved wood (probably), with a black patinated finish, enhanced with geometric patterns painted in Bordeaux red on the ears, neck, and back.

The sober and graphic treatment of the form, as well as the stylization of the fur, recall European decorative productions from the 1920s–1940s, inspired both by Art Deco and the highly fashionable Egyptian-inspired imagery of that time.

Style: Art Deco / Modernist of the 60s/70s
Material: Terracotta and painted
Colors: black and Bordeaux red
Good overall condition, with minor cracks, signs of use, and patina consistent with age.
Function: Decorative object / collectible sculpture
