Pair Of Hand-carved Lacquered Wooden Statues – Rome, Early 20th Century

We present an elegant pair of wooden statues, entirely hand-carved and lacquered to imitate marble, featuring refined veining and precious gilt details, created in Rome in the early 20th century. These works display outstanding craftsmanship and reflect a sophisticated decorative tradition that is increasingly rare today.

The statues stand out for the balance of their proportions, the finesse of the carving, and the exceptional quality of the lacquer finish, which realistically reproduces the appearance of natural marble and is enhanced by gilded details that add luminosity and prestige. Each figure is the result of meticulous workmanship, clearly revealing the artisan’s hand in the careful treatment of volumes, drapery, and surfaces.

The dimensions make this pair both versatile and highly decorative: the statues measure H. 39 cm with bases of 29 x 20 cm; the plinths, measuring 35 x 23 cm and 6 cm in height, bring the total height to 45 cm. Ideal for display on consoles, mantelpieces, bookcases, or in representative interiors, these statues add a refined touch of classical elegance.

An ideal acquisition for collectors and lovers of period décor seeking authentic, decorative pieces with strong historical charm.
