About the Item

Signed by Italian ceramicist Ceccarelli, this vintage sculpture captures the affectionate charm of two cats resting together on a tasseled cushion. The larger long-haired cat gazes outward with bright yellow eyes while the smaller feline sleeps peacefully at its side, both finished in a white crackle glaze that enhances their sculptural detail. The striped black-and-yellow cushion with deep red tassels adds contrast and vibrancy, grounding the composition with a decorative flourish. Crafted in terracotta and finished with hand-painted ceramic glaze, the piece reflects the artistry of mid-20th century Italian figural ceramics, where whimsy and refinement are seamlessly combined. Both collectible and decorative, this signed work makes a captivating addition to a display cabinet, console, or mantel—especially for cat lovers.

Pair of Monumental Hand-Carved Koi Table Bases
Located in Sarasota, FL
A commanding pair of hand-carved hardwood table bases featuring expressive koi or mythological fish rising upright from squared plinths. Their highly detailed features—arched tails, deeply incised scales, fan-like fins, and stylized expressions—create an incredible sense of movement and artistry. Likely crafted for export during the late 19th to early 20th century, the forms draw on both Eastern and Western design language. The koi, long revered in Chinese symbolism as icons of prosperity, endurance, and transformation, are paired here with a dramatic sculptural presence that evokes Victorian maximalism. These bases are versatile in application—ideal as supports for a custom marble or glass dining table, or used separately as twin console tables...
