Original Italian Hand Carved Nude Sculpture/ Lamp Signed Umberto Stiaccini

About the Item

Hand carved white alabaster sculpture of a nude woman reclining inside a clam shell with three winged putti carrying her aloft from shell laden waters. Signed to verso by the Italian 19th-20th century artist Prof. Umberto Stiaccini, Florence. The scallop shell represents the many different spiritual/ soul-filled pathways that lead to the universal center of all life-forms, also representing our internal personal journeys that we take. This can be used as a decorative sculpture and/or additionally as a table lamp. Colored light bulbs can be used if desired to enhance the effect of color and translucency of the alabaster and give it a glow or change in tone. Newly wired for US specs with a single candelabra socket to illuminate the shell. Natural specimen, marble statue, garden, cherub, naked, more lighting, cherubic, Belle Epoch.

  • French Bronze Rare Sculpture of a Panther Bunting Signed André Vincent Becquerel
    By André Vincent Becquerel
    Located in New York City, NY
    A rare and fabulous French Art Deco large bronze signed sculpture of a bunting panther by Andre Vincent Becquerel, French, 1893-1981 This lovely cast, in a warm dark brown patina with green undertones is sculpted with highly stylized anatomical details. The sculpture rests on self base. Becquerel's favorite subject matter was cats. He often captured them in a natural setting, stretching, stalking, clawing at a tree stump or walking in tandem. The model offered here with the panther bunting/rubbing against a stump of a tree is a rare version. This innate feline behavior is seen as a sign of affection, or of a transfer of their scent to claim territory or marking you as a friend. Becquerel was born in northern France. He attended the École des Beaux-arts in Paris and studied in the ateliers of Hector Lemaître and Prosper Lecourtier, the Animalier sculptor. He also worked with Charles Valton, who had studied under both Barye and Fremiet, two other renown animalier sculptors. He began exhibiting at the Salon des Artistes Français in 1914 and continued to do so for the rest of his career. In 1944 Becquerel was awarded a bronze medal by The ‘Artistes Français’ and a gold medal in 1945. In 1952 he won the Prix de l’Yser, which made him hors concours and thus above the future competition process.
