Fabris - Luigi Fabris - Sculpture, Dame al balcone - 21 cm - Porcelain

Splendid and monumental art porcelain sculpture, made in Italy in the 1920s/1930s, depicting the famous subject “At the Balcony” (also known as Ladies at the Balcony), a masterpiece modeled by the renowned Italian sculptor and ceramic artist Luigi Fabris. The piece portrays two elegant ladies in 18th-century dresses, captured in an intimate moment as they lean over a richly marbled balustrade adorned with applied, raised garlands of multicolored flowers. The shaped rocaille-style base is embellished with elaborate scrollwork and highlights in pure gold. • The main body of the sculpture, the ladies’ faces and bodies, and the entire balustrade are intact, stable, and in good condition. The hand-painted colors and gilding retain their original brilliance. Some losses and fraying are visible on the porcelain lace decorating the skirts. This is entirely typical age-related wear, commonly found on this kind of very fine and fragile porcelain.

The height is approximately 21 cm, the width approximately 28 cm, and the weight over 2 kg.

The lot will be carefully packed and shipped in a reinforced polystyrene box.
The piece does not have the usual red painted mark, which came off over time, but still has the famous Fabris anchor on one side. The mark visible on the front of the base shows the heraldic coat of arms with the anchor and the initials “LF,” representing the official signature and guarantee seal of the Luigi Fabris manufactory.
