About the Item

The ribbons of cascading hair made out of brass add dimension to the hand hammered Alpaca silver faceless form executed by the Austrian sculptor; Karl Schmidt. He worked for Hagenhauer until 1987 and then did his own designs. This is from 1989. It is a unique piece and there are no other variations of this. This is a great table top signed sculpture that has monumental height and presence. It is all hand wrought. The back of this sculpture is open as exemplified in the images and is signed there. Please note: it is no longer in perfect condition and has some small welding imperfections that were just restored to the best they can be. Please note: it is not kept on premise. PLEASE NOTE: WE HAVE JUST DROPPED THE PRICE WAY DOWN TO OUR FINAL PRICE OF $9,780.00. IT WAS LISTED AT $15,800.00.

Christofle Xiao Wang Silvered Bronze And Sterling Silver Abstract Lips Sculpture
By Christofle
Located in North Miami, FL
This stellar powerful and conversational silvered bronze and sterling silver limited edition abstracted love lips or heart sculpture was commissioned by Christofle and designed and executed by a young Chinese woman artist named Xiao Hui Wang. This is the first time in Christofle history that a young Chinese artist, albeit a woman was asked to create this commission. It is signed and numbered on the bottom. It is signed with the artists name not terribly legible, then Christofle then 08/66 then France. The base is very heavy and is sterling silver. The top is silvered bronze and was lacquered. The base cannot be lacquered because it is sterling silver. We have not seen another one on line or anywhere else. The original monumental sculpture was first created on the occasion of the Shanghai Expo and stands elegantly in monumental form at the flagship Hilton in Singapore. This is a great symbol of how the masters of silver which are Christofle have transcended the art of the table to the art of the living in sensuality. This is stellar sensual and sexy sculpture that will elicit conversation. It creates reflections of magnitude from the surface and each angle is a different representation. It is extremely heavy and came in its own crate from Paris. It is a piece de resistance of a great sculpture no doubt. This must be trucked. This will need a great pedestal in your home or can sit on a large monumental cocktail...
