AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Rare porcelain sculpture by Luigi Fabris.

I present this magnificent and rare porcelain sculpture, from a private collection, made in Capodimonte porcelain (Naples) by the renowned sculptor Luigi Fabris. This sculpture is not only a decorative object, but also an object of Italian culture.

The figure represents an 18th century style horse-drawn carriage with coachman.
Owning this ceramic piece is like owning a piece of decorative art history and the history of Italian ceramics. It is exquisitely crafted and in exceptional condition; indeed, it is a sublime example of "Capodimonte Porcelain," a category that has encompassed the highest quality products for many centuries, renowned for the excellence of its pastes and decorations.
The hallmark under the base attests that this is not one of the commercial series but a numbered one and the production period could be from the beginning of the 20th century to the middle of the same century.

The quality of execution is astonishing. The figures are hand-painted with vivid, authentic colors, making them extremely scenic. The meticulous detail and the sheen of the porcelain enhance their visual impact. It is extremely rare to find a complete work in such perfect condition.
The artwork is in excellent condition. It shows no visible breaks, repairs, or alterations. It retains its original patina, which attests to its age and value.
These unique pieces stand out in any setting, adding a touch of elegance, art, and an unmistakable historical flavor.

The sculpture will be packaged with the utmost professional care, using materials designed for fragile items. Shipping will be entrusted to a well-known and reliable courier, with tracked and insured service, guaranteeing the safety of your precious purchase.
