Description

This whimsical pair of Art Deco Bronze and Copper Sculptures of Seated Women by Ferdinando De Luca originate from Italy … more This whimsical pair of Art Deco Bronze and Copper Sculptures of Seated Women by Ferdinando De Luca originate from Italy during the dawn of the 20th Century. Featuring a pair of women seated on stylized Art Nouveau open framed stools, the sculptures are both playful and rigorously executed. Both women are seated comfortably and each raise a drinking vessel in opposite hands as though casually participating in a celebratory toast. While at first glance these could mistaken as an identical mirrored pair, upon further observation one begins to notice subtle difference in posture and execution between the two figures. The positioning of the limbs vary as well as the angle of their neck and details of the drapery, lazily concealing and revealing the strong yet slender build of the figures. Rendered in a beautiful composition of patinated copper and bronze denoting the different materials of the figures, this stunning pair of sculptures are gems of 20th Century design and artistry, sure to style beautifully in a wide array of interiors and settings. Signed on the figures by the maker. In Excellent Vintage Condition.
