About the Item

A finely carved and hand-painted wooden figure of a young girl holding a shaped tray, likely produced in Venice, Italy, during the 1960s. Standing with graceful poise atop a stylized plinth, one foot resting on stacked stonework, she is rendered with soft features, a rosette-tied collar, and gently outstretched arms-a sculptural pose that evokes both warmth and theatrical charm. The surface is finished in a warm faux bronze patina, showcasing Italy's longstanding tradition of faux finishing and decorative painting. Venetian artisans in particular were renowned for their ability to simulate marble, stone, and metal finishes in wood-a practice that blended artistry and illusion, and shaped European interior design from the Baroque period through the 20th century. Marked Made in Italy on the base, this figure combines sculptural elegance with decorative versatility. Whether used as a side table, pedestal stand, or whimsical focal point, it brings a note of Italian craftsmanship and timeless style to any interior. Shipping Note: While the piece is structurally sound and suitable for use, due to its size, detailed carving, and wooden construction, it is not recommended for standard parcel shipping (e.g., UPS or FedEx). For safe delivery, we advise white-glove transport or blanket-wrapped freight.
