Description from the seller
Rare German porcelain statuette - Lady with a Garter (1913) - G. Oppel (Model L 137)
Splendid and elegant sculpture in glossy white porcelain depicting a noblewoman or lady in refined 18th-century attire, modeled in minute detail. The work captures a sensual and intimate scene: the lady delicately lifts the wide skirt of her gown to fasten or adjust the garter.
A piece of great collectible and German antique interest from the very early Jugendstil / Art Nouveau period (1913).
* Manufacturer / Manufactory: Schwarzburger Werkstätten für Porzellanart (Schwarzburg Workshop for Porcelain Art) in Volkstedt, Germany.
* Sculptor / Artist: Gustav Oppel (1891–1978), celebrated sculptor, ceramist modeler and medalist, known for his refined female subjects and dancers created for important art manufactories (Rosenthal, Volkstedt, Schwarzburger Werkstätten).
* Year of Design: Modeled and signed on the edge of the base "G. OPPEL 1913".
* Model Code: L 137 (impressed on the bottom).
* Material: German hard porcelain, pure white with a glossy glazed finish.
* Condition: excellent conservational condition, free of chips (as per attached photographs).
* Dimensions: height 29 cm - Width 24 - depth 18 cm
A classy work that combines the historical charm of German twenties, perfect for collectors of fine porcelain or as a unique decorative accessory.
