Ceramic sculpture titled Giaguaro, an Italian mid‑century hand‑crafted seated leopard in glazed ceramic, signed, 91 cm high, 51 cm wide, 91 cm deep, weight 14 kg, in excellent condition, from Italy.
Description from the seller
This is a splendid ceramic sculpture depicting a leopard in a seated position, a classic of interior design inspired by Hollywood Regency and the 70s/80s.
Here is a detailed description of the object:
Aesthetic Characteristics
Subject: The feline is portrayed in a proud and composed pose, seated on its hind legs with the torso upright. The gaze is directed slightly to the side, giving the statue a vigilant and noble air.
Muzzle details: The eyes are a vivid and penetrating green, outlined by a black line that enhances expressiveness. The nose is pinkish with defined nostrils, and the mouth is emphasized by a bold black line.
Coat and Decoration: The livery features a cream base that fades into a warm, vibrant orange on the muzzle and along the back. The spots (rosettes) are hand-painted in 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 sinuous curves of the animal's body.
Style: Italian artistic production from the mid-20th century, in particular those from famous artisanal manufactories of Bassano del Grappa. It is a "statement" piece, capable of drawing attention in any environment.
Dimensions: 91 cm in height, an imposing statue
Possible uses
Such an object is perfect for:
Eclectic Decor: Beside an exotic plant (such as a Monstera or a palm).
Entrances: Placed on the floor to greet guests with elegance.
Collecting: For lovers of vintage "Made in Italy" ceramics
