About the Item

Cabinet of curiosities of plaster pieces and antique book artwork. Made in traditional Catalan atelier in Olot, Spain, circa 1950. Olot has a long tradition in the production of sculptures and religious imagery.

Today, the Olot School of Art and Design has become the centre for artistic education in the province of Girona and offers courses ranging from the Artistic Bachelaureate to Higher Level Studies. In original condition, with minor wear consistent with age and use, preserving a beautiful patina. Materials: Plaster. The sculptural part pieces are not attached to the wood, this is only a suggestion of presentation.
