Lot #129: Antique Porcelain Figurine – Woman with Parasol

Early 20th Century Hand-Painted Sculptural Form This exquisite antique porcelain figurine captures a moment of quiet elegance and movement, depicting a refined young woman caught mid-gesture as her dress and parasol respond to an unseen breeze. The sculptural quality of the flowing skirt and wind-swept posture gives the piece a remarkable sense of life and narrative—an unmistakable hallmark of high-quality European porcelain from the early 20th century. The figure is finely hand-modeled and delicately hand-painted, with soft pastel tones, careful facial detailing, and subtle shading throughout the garments. The parasol, angled naturally at her side, adds balance and visual drama, while the original fitted base enhances both stability and presentation. The composition reflects romantic Art Nouveau to early Art Deco influences, prized for their grace and expressive form. This figurine works equally well as a standalone display piece, a refined accent in a traditional interior, or a focal object in a curated antique or eclectic collection. Its timeless subject matter and craftsmanship make it highly appealing to collectors of fine porcelain and decorative arts. Condition: Very good antique condition with age-appropriate wear. No obvious major damage visible. Displays beautifully. A charming, investment-worthy decorative object that brings warmth, movement, and Old World refinement into any space.
