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 piercing green, outlined by a black line that heightens expressiveness. The nose is rosy with defined nostrils, and the mouth is emphasized by a bold black line.
Coat and Decoration: The coat features a cream base that fades into a warm and vibrant orange on the snout 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 productions of the mid-20th century, particularly those of famous handcrafted manufactories in Bassano del Grappa. It is a "statement" piece, capable of drawing attention in any setting.
Dimensions: 91 cm in height, an imposing statue
Possible Uses
A piece like this is perfect for:
Eclectic Decor: Next to an exotic plant (like a Monstera or a palm).
Entries: Placed on the floor to welcome guests with elegance.
Collecting: For lovers of vintage "Made in Italy" ceramics
