Statue, Leopardo ruggente - 50 cm - Earthenware

Vintage Terracotta Glazed Statue – Roaring Leopard (Made in Italy)
​Splendid and expressive vintage sculpture in majolica and glazed terracotta, depicting a leopard (or cheetah) 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 entirely finished and hand-painted, with the typical crazed glaze effect that gives the piece the authentic charm of antique items.
​Main Features:
​Material: Glazed terracotta
​Origin: 100% Made in Italy (features the double raw stamp on the inner base).
​Craft: Hand-painted with great care to the details of the spotted coat and the facial expression.
​Style: Vintage, Boho-Chic, Hollywood Regency.
​Item Condition (Please read carefully):
​The statue remains 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 (broke tooth). Being terracotta, the defect blends into the piece's “lived-in” look, but the price accounts for this imperfection. No other cracks or structural restorations are noticeable.
​Shipping and Packaging:
​Aware of the terracotta's delicacy, I guarantee bomb-proof packaging: I use sturdy boxes, multiple layers of bubble wrap, and filling material to ensure the feline arrives at your home perfectly intact. Tracked and fast shipping.
Note: shipping only within Italy; we do not ship abroad!!!!!!!
