About the Item
Elegant Art Deco sculpture depicting Diana the Huntress with a bow, created in the 1930s by Italian sculptor Salvatore Melani. The figure is crafted from plaster and finished with silver leaf, while the bow is delicately fashioned from brass. It stands on a sleek black lacquered base, which enhances the visual contrast and presence of the piece.
Salvatore Melani (1902–1934) was an artist active during the golden age of Art Deco, known for his distinctive and expressive style. Although his career was tragically short, he became renowned for his refined depictions of female figures and feline forms, characterized by fluid lines and elegant detail. His works are highly sought after by collectors and frequently appear at auctions of early 20th-century sculpture and design.

Josef Lorenzl (1 September 1892 – 15 August 1950) was an Austrian sculptor and ceramicist of the Art Deco period.
While at the Vienna Arsenal, Lorenzl produced many bronze and chryselephantine sculptures, and captivated by the female form he became famed for his shapely dancing girls with long, elegant legs and closed eyes. These pieces of his were signed "Enzl", "Lor", "R. Lor", "Renz" or "Renzl". Occasionally the name "Crejo" appears on his pieces, Crejo having been a painter and one of Lorenzl's friends, and who sometimes applied colour to the pieces. These joint works are sought-after items. The large majority of Lorenzl's figurines were attached to Brazilian green onyx plinths.
Lorenzl's talents also extended to being a gifted ceramicist. He produced pieces for Goldscheider, working from a studio on company grounds.
