About the Item

Top quality carved bust, signed by Antonio Frilli (1830-1902) of Firenze/Florence. If you are a collector of antique and top-quality works of art then this hand carved and saint-like lady sculpture could be flying your way soon. Over the decades we have owned and sold a number of great sculptures made of all kinds of materials, but this stunning lady could very well be the most beautifully hand carved one of them all. Her hair is perfectly draped in her 'veil' (we don't know the correct word for such a 'hair veil') and the incredibly detailed way in which this was done, reveils the work of the master sculptor that Antonio Frilli was. It is not for no reason that large marble sculptures by this world renowned sculptor realized six figure prices at the most well known auction houses in and outside of Europe. Antonio Frilli clearly was one of the best sculptors of probably the last generation of Italian master sculptors. For anyone to be able to handcarve a perfect 'hair veil' and a serene face like this out of a rock of alabaster, to us, is like the work of a higher power. The manner in which the 'hair veil' is draped over her head and underneith her chin is incredibly realistic. Only a true artisan and master carver is capable of creating such realistic details and it makes this striking lady look even more graceful and serene. Have you also noticed the Gothic rosettes and the Gothic church window-like decorations in the part of the dress that covers her upper body? These details too make us believe that this rare Frilli sculpture depicts a saint or biblical figure. Thanks to its durability this alabaster lady sculpture on its marble base can be enjoyed by you (and your loved ones) for the rest of your lives and by generations after you. She brings beauty, grace and an almost tangible kind of peace, no matter where you decide to have her on display.
