Description from the seller
Antique sculpture in Calcite Onyx Depicting Two Tigers
Important decorative sculpture from the late 19th century / early 20th century, made in oriental calcite onyx coming from the Iranian area, a material highly appreciated from the end of the 1800s to the early 1900s for the production of fine works intended for aristocratic and bourgeois representative environments.
The work depicts two tigers in a dynamic and dramatic scene of combat or chase, carved in the round on a single rocky base. The figures are rendered with great expressive force: jaws open, tusks clearly visible, taut musculature and natural movements, which confer the composition a remarkable sense of tension and realism.
The workmanship is entirely manual, with excellent anatomical rendering and care in the details of the coat, heads and legs, typical of oriental decorative productions intended for the European market between the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The stone presents a splendid natural veining in cream, honey and ivory tones, with darker areas that enhance the volume of the figures.
A sculpture with a strong visual and decorative impact, ideal as a central piece for salons, monumental entrances or collections of period decorative art.
