S. Helaine - Sculpture

Elegant, large-scale Art Deco sculpture depicting a reclining woman accompanied by a dog. The figure stands out for its harmonious composition, finely rendered details, and decorative gold-colored finish. There is a signature on the base that appears to read “S. Melani” and may be attributed to the Italian sculptor Salvatore Melani. The underside also bears the marking “266 MAF,” presumably a model or manufacturer’s number. The sculpture’s design is characteristic of the Art Deco style of the 1920s and 1930s. Technical details * Artist: Salvatore Melani (attributed) * Period: Probably 1920–1940 * Style: Art Deco * Material: Probably plaster or mineral casting compound with a gold-colored coating * Length: 45 cm * Height: 28 cm * Width: 17 cm * Weight: 5.95 kg (5,950 grams) * Signature: Possibly S. Melani * Marking: 266 MAF Condition The sculpture is in used condition consistent with its age. The gold-colored surface shows signs of wear and minor chips in places. There is a clearly visible crack in the female figure’s neck. As a result, the head is slightly loose and should be professionally stabilized. The damage is documented in the photographs. The sculpture is offered in its current condition.
