Italian-made ceramic sculpture titled Giaguaro, signed and in excellent condition, depicting a seated leopard with mid‑century Italian artistic craftsmanship from Bassano del Grappa, measuring 91 cm high, 51 cm wide, 91 cm deep and weighing 14 kg.
Description from the seller
This is a splendid ceramic sculpture depicting a leopard seated, a classic of interior design inspired by Hollywood Regency and the 1970s/1980s.
Here is a detailed description of the object:
Aesthetic Characteristics
Subject: The feline is depicted in a proud and composed pose, sitting on its hind legs with an upright torso. The gaze is directed slightly to the side, giving the statue a vigilant and noble air.
Muzzle details: The eyes are a vivid, piercing green, outlined by a black line that heightens their expressiveness. The nose is rosy with defined nostrils, and the mouth is emphasized by a bold black line.
Coat and Decoration: The coat is characterized by a cream base that fades into a warm and vibrant orange on the muzzle and along the back. The spots (rosettes) are hand-painted with a deep black; they are denser and smaller on the head, widening and becoming more sparse and circular on the body.
Quality and Style
Material: High-quality glazed ceramic with a glossy finish that reflects light, emphasizing the animal’s body’s sinuous curves.
Style: Italian artistic production of the mid-twentieth century, in particular those from famous artisanal manufactories in Bassano del Grappa. It is a 'statement' piece, capable of drawing attention in any environment.
Dimensions: 91 cm tall, an imposing statue.
Possible use
An item of this kind is perfect for:
Eclectic Furniture: Beside an exotic plant (such as a Monstera or a palm).
Entrances: Place on the floor to welcome guests with elegance.
Collecting: For lovers of vintage ceramics 'Made in Italy'
