About the Item

This charming early 20th-century French miniature statuette captures the playful elegance of a cherubic figure joyfully playing the violin. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the piece is made of finely cast silver or silver-plated bronze, showcasing the cherub’s soft, rounded features and whimsical expression. The delicate rendering of the violin and bow further highlights the artistry and skill of its maker. The statuette is mounted on a beautifully decorated base adorned with scrolling motifs, which add an extra touch of sophistication to its petite form. Likely inspired by the romantic and playful themes of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, this piece embodies the charm and refinement characteristic of French decorative art from this era. In excellent vintage condition with a soft patina that enhances its timeless appeal, this miniature sculpture makes a delightful addition to any collection. Perfectly sized for a desk, mantel, or curio cabinet, it brings a sense of joy and elegance to any setting.
