Chryselephantine figurine. Bronze and ivory. Salammbô, circa 1920
This exquisite figurine of Salammbô, also known as Oriental Dancer, created in the first quarter of the 20th century, is an excellent example of Art Deco plastic art. The sculpture shows a graceful girl frozen in the movement of a dance, with expressive and dynamic lines characteristic of this artistic movement. The figure is made of gilded bronze, which is skillfully combined with smooth ivory. Ivory is used to depict naked arms, legs, stomach and chest, creating a harmonious contrast between the materials and emphasizing the sophistication and elegance of the forms. The girl is depicted in a dynamic pose, inspired by the author of the historical novel Salammbô by the French writer Gustave Flaubert. The sculptor depicted Salammbo in bronze, a priestess of the goddess Tanit, radiating the expression and grace typical of the Art Deco style. Each element is carefully worked out, conveying the liveliness and energy of movement. Graceful lines and elegant forms emphasize the aesthetic value of this sculpture. On the bronze part of the figurine is the signature FATORI, which confirms the authorship and high quality of execution. The sculpture is accompanied by a CITES certificate, certifying the legality of the use of ivory, which adds additional value and significance to this work of art. Dimensions: Height 340 mm, Width 280 mm. Chryselephantine technique. Materials: bronze, ivory. Weight: 2.5 kgThis sculpture not only illustrates the sculptor`s skill in working with bronze and ivory, but is also a striking representative of Art Deco - a style that emphasizes decorativeness and functionality.

Russian icon of the Holy Martyr Antonina, turn of the 19th-20th centuries.
Russian icon of the Holy Martyr Antonina, turn of the 19th-20th centuries. A small, personal image is painted in bright and festive gold, in the canons of realistic painting at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. The semi-figure of the saint is enlivened by a three-quarter turn, volumetric-plastic construction of the figure, calm and confident concentration, realistically written hands with a cross. The careful and fractional ornamentation of the golden field and its organization do not contradict the stated dating. Dimensions: 17x14 cm.

SILVER FIGURE OF A CLOWN. VITTORIO ANCINI ITALY, AREZZO, SECOND HALF OF THE 20TH CENTURY
SILVER FIGURE OF A CLOWN. VITTORIO ANCINI ITALY, AREZZO, SECOND HALF OF THE 20TH CENTURY
An expressive silver cabinet figure of a clown created by the Italian workshop Ancini in the second half of the 20th century. The sculpture depicts a comic character dressed in a typical circus costume with shortened trousers, a loose jacket and a large decorative bow tie. The plastic composition captures a moment of theatrical gesture: the figure leans slightly forward with arms spread apart, while the face conveys an exaggerated comic expression, lending the composition a sense of movement and emphasizing the theatrical nature of the image.The figure is distinguished by the carefully modeled costume and the expressive treatment of the face. The silver surface is highly polished, producing a characteristic play of reflections that accentuates the sculptural structure of the drapery. The decorative appeal of the composition is enhanced by colored enamels on silver: a bright red nose, polychrome inserts on the bow tie and buttons, as well as contrasting shoelaces, reinforcing the theatrical character of the figure and giving it a vivid stage-like individuality.The composition is notable for the unity of its silhouette and its well-balanced proportions. Genre figures of this type became widespread in Italian artistic silver of the second half of the 20th century and were produced as decorative interior objects intended for collecting and for the decoration of representative interiors.Marks: Maker’s mark “ANCINI”; Italian assay marks “925 ITALY”; registered maker’s number “1547 AR” (Arezzo); additional mark “Z”.Dimensions: Height: 20 cm. Width: 7 cm.Weight: 0.641 kg.Condition: Good. No gilding. Minor traces of use. No deformations, cracks or losses.Provenance: Private European collection.
