Description from the seller
Vintage Italian Silver-Plated Art Deco Style Statue – Elegant Woman with Afghan Hound (33cm)
A beautifully “detailed” vintage silver-plated sculpture depicting an elegant woman standing beside an Afghan Hound dog.
The statue captures a striking Art Deco style aesthetic, featuring a woman with a stylized modern hairstyle, textured jacket, and a tailored pencil skirt. Resting elegantly at her feet is a finely detailed long-haired Afghan hound.
The piece is securely mounted onto a sleek, high-gloss black wooden base. It retains its original golden manufacturer label on the edge of the base.
• Place of Production: Made in Italy. The foil label explicitly lists Sarno (SA) (Province of Salerno, Campania region).
• Type: Statue / Sculpture
• Subject: Fashionable Woman standing with an Afghan Hound
• Material: Silver-Plated Metal. Given the type of object, this sticker was placed by an upscale local Italian boutique or silver specialist—such as the historic Gioielleria Landi (established in 1960 on Corso Amendola) or a similar high-end giftware merchant. Italian jewelry and argenteria shops traditionally attached custom metallic foil labels like this to the bases of fine silver-plated items (argenteria and oggetti d'arte) before they were wrapped as luxury gifts.
• Base: Polished Black Wood
• Style: Art Deco Style / Mid-Century Elegance
• Country/Region of Manufacture: Italy (Sarno, Province of Salerno)
• Weight: 1143 grams
• Dimensions: 33cm (Height) x 15cm (Length) x 14cm (Width)
• Date of Production: Late 20th Century (circa 1970s–1990s). While an exact calendar year is not stamped, the format of the Italian telephone numbers shown on the label (6-digit local numbers with the regional code structure) indicates a vintage production timeline prior to Italy's standard late-90s telecom changes.
• Condition: Very good vintage condition. There is a repairmark at the end of the skirt visable in the photos. The silver plating overall exhibits a wonderful polished luster with light natural patina in the textured recesses of the jacket and dog's coat, adding rich depth and character to the piece.
