Description from the seller
Vintage Terracotta Glazed Statue – Roaring Leopard (Made in Italy)
Splendid and expressive vintage sculpture in majolica glazed terracotta, depicting a leopard () seated in a roaring pose. A classic of Mid-Century interior design and Hollywood Regency, characterized by a strong stage presence and an eclectic, characterful style.
The piece is fully finished and hand-painted, with the typical craquelé glaze effect that gives the item the authentic charm of vintage objects.
Main Features:
Material: Glazed Terracotta
Origin: 100% Made in Italy (featuring the double raw-printed mark on the inner base).
Craftsmanship: Hand-painted with great care in the detail of the spotted coat and the muzzle expression.
Style: Vintage, Boho-Chic, Hollywood Regency.
Condition of the item (Read carefully):
The statue is in good overall vintage condition, with vivid colors and a beautiful glaze shine.
Transparency note: As clearly visible from the close-up photos, the statue has the tip of one of the upper canines missing. Being terracotta, the defect blends into the piece's "lived-in" look. No other cracks or structural restorations are noticeable.
Shipping and Packaging:
Aware of the delicacy of terracotta, I guarantee bomb-proof packaging: I use sturdy boxes, multiple layers of bubble wrap, and packing material to ensure the feline arrives at your home perfectly intact. Tracked and fast shipping.
We do not ship to Germany!!!!
