Alfred Boucher (French, 1850-1934), ‘Diana the Huntress’, A Near Lifesize Statuary Marble Group. Modelled nude with head turned looking to her left, striding forward holding the greyhound by its collar with her right hand and a giltwood bow in her left hand. On an integral carved base with foliage support. Signed 'A. BOUCHER' Boucher’s choice of pose is deliberately indebted to the celebrated mid-16th century painting of Diana the Huntress by an anonymous artist of the School of Fontainebleau.

An extremely well carved pair of Statuary Carrara marble busts on marble pedestals, by important sculptor Odoardo Fantacchiotti.  Odoardo Fantacchiotti (11 May 1811–4 June 1877) was an Italian sculptor of the late-Neoclassic period. He was born in Rome, but his family moved to Florence. In 1820, he enrolled in the Accademia di Belle Arti di Firenze. At the Academy, he studied under S. Ricci, and first started exhibiting in 1828. Gaining the patronage of the Grand Duke, he continued his studies, following the ideas of Aristodemo Costoli of depicting the "bello naturale". In 1839 at the Academy, he exhibited the work of the Massacre of the Innocents. In 1840 he was named professor at the Academy. Among his public works are the statue of Boccaacio and dell'Accorso for the ground floor niches of the courtyard of the Uffizi, medallions commemorating Francesco Redi and the bust of Ferdinando II de Medici for the Museo della Specola, a statue of Sallustio Bandini (now at the Accademia dei Georgeofili, but initially planned for the loggia of the Uffizi. A marble Virgin...

A Magnificent, Exceptionally Rare, Museum Quality Pair of 18th Century English Ormolu Mounted, Hand-Carved and Hand-Polished Carrara Marble Cassolettes, By Matthew Boulton. These beautiful ormolu-mounted white marble cassolettes are by Matthew Boulton (1728-1809) and John Fothergill (1730- circa 1782) published in their Pattern Book No. 1 (page 171, figure t) and reproduced in Sir Nicholas Goodison's Ormolu: The Work of Matthew Boulton (New York, 1974, page 383, figure 161). Josiah Wedgwood (1730-1795) was a close friend of Boulton's and his patterns are thought to be the source for the medallions used on the plinths of these. Boulton's medallions of classical figures are almost identical to the cameos and intaglios made by Wedgwood and his partner James Tassie. Molds for these examples can be found in the Wedgwood Collection at the Victoria & Albert Museum. All derive from the same classical source of Renaissance gems. Many gem collections in Europe were widely published at this time and Boulton's library contained A. F. Gori's Museum Florentinum (1731-1766), in which gems from the Medici collection were engraved. The subjects of the medallions on this pair are: Pomona, a Roman goddess of fruit trees, gardens, and orchards, and depicted carrying a basket on her head overloaded with fruit, tumbling to the ground, shown once on each vase. Hygeia, once on each, with an olive branch in her right hand, as seen in Tassie's reproduction of Valerio Belli's gem, and holding a snake in her left hand over an altar. This was produced by Wedgwood both as an intaglio and as a cameo. Venus & Cupid, only on one vase, showing Venus leaning against a column with a pike, and giving a helmet to Cupid. Aesclepius, Greek GD of medicine, only on one vase, depicted with a snake wrapped around his staff .The last medallion subject is either Diomedes or Perseus, shown once on each vase, depicted as a conquering hero. Boulton asked patrons to choose from a limited repertoire of motifs, and therefore each vase or pair of vases is adorned with their own combination. Boulton used nine medallion subjects on recorded vases of this type. PROVENANCE & COMPS Another pair of this model, with slightly less elaborate lids and finials, from a private collection are illustrated in Goodison's Matthew Boulton: ORMOLU, (page 379, figure 153). A further example is in a private New York collection. This pair, which was acquired from Hotspur in 1981, was formerly in the Collection of Marjorie Wiggin Prescott, sold Christie’s, New York, 31 January 1981, lot 76. The Prescott Collection was one of the most important English furniture collections of its time. The sale consisted mostly of late 17th and 18th century English furniture...

This refined marble sculpture by Italian artist Aldo Dazzi embodies the harmonious balance between geometry and organic form characteristic of Carrara’s modern sculptural tradition. Carved from a single block of white Carrara marble, the sphere reveals subtle circular incisions that rhythmically encircle its surface, evoking both planetary movement and the timeless perfection of classical form. The hollow center introduces an intriguing spatial tension — an inward gesture that contrasts with the flawless outer curvature. Dazzi’s craftsmanship demonstrates his deep connection to the marble of his native Carrara, blending the precision of traditional stonework with the abstraction typical of Italian sculpture from the 1960s and 1970s. The smooth polish accentuates the translucency of the marble, allowing light to animate the piece and emphasize its sculptural purity. Presented on a Belge Noir marble base, Sfera stands as a serene, contemplative object — a synthesis of material mastery and poetic minimalism. Aldo Dazzi (1920 – c. 1988) Italian sculptor and graphic artist Aldo Dazzi was an Italian sculptor and visual artist, born in Codena, a district of Carrara (Tuscany, Italy), on January 1, 1920. He trained and worked in the historic marble-working tradition of Carrara, a region famous for its quarries and its long line of sculptors. Dazzi’s artistic career developed during the mid-20th century, reaching maturity in the 1970s, when he produced a number of sculptures and graphic works that reflect a modern interpretation of classical marble forms. His style combined the disciplined craftsmanship of Carrara’s marble masters with a more contemporary sensibility, often emphasizing clean lines and organic volumes. Dazzi was part of the post-war Italian sculptural scene, active in local exhibitions and circles that connected traditional marble artisans with the evolving language of modern art. Some of his pieces—such as Sfera (1978)—show his interest in geometric abstraction and the expressive qualities of natural stone. Aldo Dazzi’s works occasionally appear in Italian art sales and collections, including limited-edition serigraphs and small marble sculptures.
