AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Nuova Andros - Sculpture "Menina" with a finish in Pure Silver Bath and Gold Details
Elegant vintage decorative sculpture signed "Nuova Andros," a famous Italian artistic craftsmanship active at the end of the twentieth century. The work reinterprets the iconic subject of the "Menina" (the court damsel) in an artistic and material key. The figure stands out for a texture-rich modeling and precise details, particularly in the portrayal of the expansive dress with a fabric-like effect. The sculpture is mounted on a solid, very heavy base (964 grams), finished entirely by hand through a pure silver bath, enriched with glossy gold details (24K gold plating) applied to the collar and along the embroidery of the skirt and on the coiffure.
On the back, factory marks are clearly visible, hot-stamped, including the octagonal punch with the initials "BA" (Bagno d'Argento) 925.
The item presents itself in excellent overall condition. The bi-color patina preserves a splendid sheen and shows no deep abrasions or invasive tarnishing of the metal. Perfect as a collectible piece or a refined vintage home décor accessory.
Seller's Story
For over 20 years, I have dedicated myself passionately to the search for and trading of special, rare, curious objects from any era.
Every piece I select has something that catches my attention: it can be the shape, the story, the unusual aspect, or simply that detail that makes it unique.
I am always searching for objects that speak, that tell something to those who know how to listen.
I choose them carefully, photograph them honestly, and describe them as accurately as possible.
Selling on this Catawiki to share this passion with those who, like me, love to surround themselves with things with a soul.
