Diana the Huntress – Art Deco Silver Leaf Sculpture by Salvatore Melani, 1930s

About the Item

Elegant Art Deco sculpture depicting Diana the Huntress with a bow, created in the 1930s by Italian sculptor Salvatore Melani. The figure is crafted from plaster and finished with silver leaf, while the bow is delicately fashioned from brass. It stands on a sleek black lacquered base, which enhances the visual contrast and presence of the piece. Salvatore Melani (1902–1934) was an artist active during the golden age of Art Deco, known for his distinctive and expressive style. Although his career was tragically short, he became renowned for his refined depictions of female figures and feline forms, characterized by fluid lines and elegant detail. His works are highly sought after by collectors and frequently appear at auctions of early 20th-century sculpture and design.
