Ceramic sculpture of a seated leopard titled Giaguaro, signed and in excellent condition, made in Italy, 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 in a seated position, a classic of interior design inspired by Hollywood Regency and the 1970s/1980s.
Here is a detailed description of the object:
Aesthetic Features
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.
Facial Details: The eyes are a vivid, penetrating green, outlined by a black line that enhances expressiveness. The nose is rosy with defined nostrils, and the mouth is emphasized by a bold black stroke.
Coat and Decoration: The pattern features a cream base that fades into a warm, vibrant orange on the snout and along the back. The rosettes are hand-painted in 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 sinuous curves of the animal's body.
Style: Italian artistic productions of the mid-20th century, particularly those from renowned artisanal manufactories of Bassano del Grappa. It is a “statement” piece, capable of drawing attention in any setting.
Dimensions: 91 cm tall, an imposing statue
Possible Use
A piece like this is perfect for:
Ecclectic Decor: Next to an exotic plant (such as a Monstera or a palm).
Entrances: Placed on the floor to welcome guests with elegance.
Collecting: For lovers of vintage "Made in Italy" ceramics
