May 10, 2025Wonderful Antique Italian Terracotta Sculpture Based On The Original ‘The Goddess Of Victory’ From The Louvre Museum
€1,950.00
An exquisite antique terracotta reproduction of the Winged Victory of Samothrace (Goddess Nike), inspired by the iconic Hellenistic sculpture that commands the Daru staircase in the Louvre Museum, Paris. Sourced in Florence, Italy and dating circa 1900, this piece captures the fluidity, drama, and elegance of the original with exceptional craftsmanship. Made from terracotta, the sculpture features a beautiful natural patina, with warm earthy tones and speckles coming through the surface. Most notably, the underside and interior of the piece bear the original sculptor’s thumbprints and fingerprints—intimate traces of the artisan’s hand. There is also an impressed monogram at the base, adding to its authenticity and collectible appeal. This timeless piece works brilliantly in both contemporary and classical interiors. Whether placed on a sideboard, console, or elevated on a pedestal, it offers endless possibilities to the end user as a striking focal point or statement object. A wholly original antique—not a modern reproduction—this is a rare and soulful tribute to one of antiquity’s most revered masterpieces.
