About the Item

These unusual hand-sculpted polychrome wax figurines on giltwood base depicting two Arabs relaxing on a sofa perfectly captures late 19th century Europe's perspective and aesthetic fascination with Middle Eastern cultures. These highly decorative statues, of narrow proportion, are the perfect eye-catching vitrine decorative objet d’art. Depict a man seated and smoking a pipe while the woman is relaxing herself on a comfortable couch, both attired in traditional colored garb with Turkish turban, their clothing capture the jovial spirit of relaxed celebrations and communal festivities. These unusual showcase collectibles items immediately create an exotic, whimsical effect to any decor. These figurines are very unusual, despite the convenient dimensions, every detail both of the seat and of the expressions and clothing is extremely nice, maniacally detailed and very truthful. They rest on oval giltwood base with round feet and finished with a cord throughout. Both the figures are very well carved in detail and brightly painted. Very good overall condition and desirable original patina considering material, age and use. One hand of the male statuette missing, we can provide restoration with an extra. Measures: Height 15, width 19, depth 11 cm.

French 19th Century Empire Porcelain and Gilt Bronze Decorative Jewelry Box

Located in Firenze, IT

This French Empire 19th century rectangular porcelain dresser box or jewlery decorative casket has a wonderfully patinated powder blue/cerulean light blue background color and features grotesque masks, architectural vase, fruit, flowers and leafy scrolled design throughout painted as a trompe l’oeil in the round. Ormolu mounts enrich the whole box. The paintings on this casket are striking as is the color palette used, a wonderful mix of light purple, cream, blue and soft brown. The lid is centered by a grotesque mask inspired by antiquity. The front, back and sides are profusely decorated with architectural elements, cartouches and volutes. The design is centered by a vase with a fruit arrangement that appear to be plums. The decoration could refer to the allegory of autumn and the mask painted on the lid could refer to Bacchus. Both the color of the porcelain and the paintings are very unusual and a sign of high quality and uniqueness.The box was most probably given to a high-ranking lady as a gift on the occasion of her marriage, or perhaps after the birth of a child. The lidded box is fitted with ormolu mounts, hinges and clasp. A gilt bronze band finelly chiseled in the form of a rope adorns the upper part. The trinket box rests on four gilt bronze lion paw feet. This striking French porcelain box...
