Description
A striking signed French Art Nouveau bust by Louis Mattei, dating to the early 20th century and depicting an elegant young woman with hair adorned with floral ornament.
Executed in patinated spelter with bronzed and gilt-highlighted decoration, the sculpture captures the romantic and organic styling synonymous with the French Art Nouveau movement. The softly modelled female figure is portrayed with graceful classical features, draped shoulders, and exuberant floral detailing, giving the piece both movement and decorative presence.
Signed L. Mattei to the base, this is a highly decorative example of Belle Époque sculpture, equally suited to traditional or contemporary interiors as a statement display piece.
With its rich dark patination and sculptural elegance, this is an eye-catching and evocative decorative work of the period.
