AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This exquisite piece of artistic porcelain from the legendary Spanish house Algora is a must-have for lovers of classic collecting with a neoclassical touch. Measuring 25.5 cm in height, the work depicts a young maiden in a serene, bucolic pose, seated on an Ionic capital that reinforces that ancient aesthetic so sought after in the Classical Zodiac series from the firm. The delicacy of the modeling is exceptional, especially the work of “pastillage” in the bouquet of flowers she holds and the detailed floral decoration of her tunic, enhanced with elegant touches in gold of law on both the strap and the gilded base. The piece preserves all the brightness and purity of Algora’s characteristic white, presenting on its base the blue authenticity seal and the raised back medallion. It is important to note that the figure has a slight defect in one of the petals of the flowers and the missing long part of the bow at the back; these details, though present, do not detract from the overall visual beauty of the sculpture on display. This is a fantastic opportunity to acquire a piece from a now-defunct and highly regarded manufactory, ideal for those looking to add a note of distinction and Spanish art to their décor or to complete their Zodiac collection. A piece that is very hard to obtain, it is sold as shown in the photographs.
