About the Item
Cabinet of Curiosities with Plaster Figures – Olot, Spain, Circa 1950
This captivating cabinet of curiosities, crafted in the heart of Catalonia, Spain, circa 1950, features a collection of plaster figures and pieces housed within a wooden cabinet. Made in a traditional Catalan atelier in Olot, this piece is a wonderful example of the region’s long-standing craftsmanship in sculpture and religious imagery.
Olot, known for its rich history in religious statuary, has been the birthplace of many renowned sculptors since the 19th century. The city is home to the prestigious "El Arte Cristiano" workshop, founded by Marià Vayreda, where famous sculptors such as Miguel Blay and Josep Clarà worked. Today, the Olot School of Art and Design continues to uphold the legacy of this artistic tradition, making it a hub for artistic education in the province of Girona.
In original condition, this cabinet shows minor wear consistent with age and use, preserving a beautiful patina that enhances its vintage appeal. The plaster figures and pieces inside the cabinet remain loose and unmounted, serving as a suggestion of presentation, allowing for flexibility in displaying the collection as desired.
