About the Item
Elegant French Art Deco sculpture by Salvatore Melani, created in France in the 1920s, titled “Lady with a Lamb.”
This refined figurative sculpture is crafted in spelter with a marble and onyx base, exemplifying the grace and stylized naturalism characteristic of the Art Deco period.
The composition depicts a serene female figure accompanied by a lamb, symbolizing innocence and harmony. The flowing lines and delicate modeling highlight Melani’s mastery of form and balance. The sculpture is signed “S. Melani” on the back of the figure (see last photo), confirming its authenticity.
Dimensions:
Height: 8.5 in. (21.5 cm)
Width: 17.65 in. (45 cm)
Depth: 5.3 in. (13.5 cm)
Condition:
Overall very good vintage condition. There is a small chip on the back of the marble base, visible in the last two photos, which does not detract from the sculpture’s overall aesthetic or display quality.
A fine example of French Art Deco sculpture, ideal for collectors of early 20th-century decorative arts, figural sculpture, or signed Art Deco works.
Salvatore Melani was a French sculptor active during the early 20th century, best known for his Art Deco figurative sculptures produced in the 1920s and 1930s. His work often features elegant female figures, animals, and allegorical themes, rendered with refined proportions and a strong sense of movement.
Melani frequently worked with materials such as spelter, bronze, marble, and onyx, creating decorative yet expressive compositions that reflect the modern spirit and sophistication of the Art Deco era. His sculptures are regularly signed “S. Melani” and remain highly sought after by collectors of French Art Deco sculpture worldwide.
