Ceramic white-and-black leopard sculpture made in Italy, signed, in excellent condition, with dimensions 51 cm wide, 91 cm high and 91 cm deep.
Description from the seller
This is a fascinating black and white ceramic leopard seated, a classic interior design piece that recalls the Italian artisanal craftsmanship of the 1960s and ’70s.
Here is a detailed description:
Aesthetic Features
Subject and Pose: The animal is depicted in a proud and elegant pose, sitting on its hind legs with the torso upright. The head is slightly turned upward, giving it a vigilant and noble air.
Fur and Color: The ceramic base is glossy and bright white. The plumage (or coat) is adorned with a series of irregular black spots ranging from solid dots to “rosette” shapes on the flanks, typical of big cats.
Face Details: The eyes are a deep blue, creating a strong color contrast with the black-and-white body.
The nose is finished in an ochre/orange shade, adding a warm touch of color.
The mouth and whisker details are hinted with millimetric precision.
Material and Craftsmanship
Material: This is glazed ceramic; the finish is extremely reflective, suggesting the use of a high-quality display cabinet typical of artistic productions.
Style: These objects were luxury icons in the ’70s, and today they are vintage pieces highly sought after by mid-century modern collectors.
The statue exudes a sense of exotic elegance. Despite the predator nature of the subject, the features are rendered in a nearly sweet and decorative way, making it a striking but harmonious home decor complement.
