About the Item

Dimensions - H: 19 3/4 in W: 11 in D: 8 in A mesmerizing antique Italian Art Deco-style sculpture of a gypsy from the 1920s, exquisitely carved from alabaster, showcasing the elegance, movement, and exoticism that define the Art Deco era. This masterfully crafted sculpture captures the free-spirited essence of a gypsy woman, radiating a sense of grace and intrigue through her expressive pose and finely detailed features. The figure is beautifully rendered in smooth, translucent alabaster, a material prized for its ability to capture light and create a soft, lifelike appearance. Her face is delicately carved, with a serene yet enigmatic expression, while her flowing garments, sculpted with remarkable precision, drape elegantly around her form, enhancing the illusion of movement. The intricate folds and pleats in the fabric demonstrate the sculptor’s skill in achieving depth and texture within the stone. This exceptional Art Deco sculpture is a testament to Italian craftsmanship of the early 20th century, embodying the era’s fascination with exotic subjects, fluidity of form, and luxurious materials. A rare and captivating work of art, it serves as a stunning decorative statement, bringing an air of timeless elegance and bohemian charm to any interior or collection.
