19th Century Hand-Painted Venetian Blackamore Pedestal

Price: $3,468

19th Century Hand-Painted Venetian Blackamore Pedestal is a wonderful example of the works coming out of Venice during the latter half of the 19th century, identified by their extraordinary artistry and craftsmanship, plus the gondola represented at the bottom of the figure just above the elaborately adorned pedestal.  Each sculpture is hand-painted to perfection and given a final finish to preserve the coloration, but Venetian versions usually have an added complexity to the pediment top above representing folded cloth, or some other artistic touch.

Circa 1880s
