Description from the seller
Antique ivory figurine – Renaissance lady – Europe – ca. 1850–1900 – on a wooden pedestal
A highly refined hand-carved ivory figurine depicting an elegant Renaissance lady in richly draped court attire. The figure wears a characteristic pleated collar (molensteenkraag), voluminous puff sleeves and a gracefully falling skirt that is subtly gathered by hand. The posture is stately and restrained, with a finely wrought face and carefully modeled hairstyle.
The detailing in the lacework, the drapery of the fabric, and the proportions of the body clearly demonstrate the craftsmanship of a 19th-century sculptor. The figurine stands on a black-painted wooden pedestal that beautifully contrasts with the warm ivory patina.
Origin & dating
Western Europe (possibly Germany or France)
Second half of the 19th century (ca. 1850–1900)
Such historizing figures were particularly popular during the Neo-Renaissance period.
Solid hand-carved ivory
Black-painted wooden pedestal
Nice naturally aged patina matching the age.
Condition, good antique state
Normal signs of aging
Light natural discoloration
Fine drying cracks at the base (age-related)
Pedestal with signs of use
No major missing parts visible.
Dimensions: 16 cm total height. Diameter 5.5 cm.
Includes expert statement and EU CITES certificate.
