Lot #130: Antique Porcelain Figurine – Mother and Child with Floral Basket

Early 20th Century Hand-Painted Romantic European Style This beautifully composed antique porcelain figurine presents a tender and timeless scene of a mother guiding her child, captured with exceptional grace and sculptural detail. The flowing lines of the woman’s dress, the gentle tilt of her head, and the affectionate interaction with the child reflect the romantic realism that defined fine European porcelain in the early 20th century. Delicately hand-painted in soft ivory, blush, and muted earth tones, the figure displays remarkable attention to detail—from the floral basket and ruffled bonnet to the expressive faces and finely modeled hands. The layered drapery and balanced composition give the piece depth and movement, making it visually engaging from every angle. The figurine is mounted on its original fitted base, adding both stability and presentation quality. This piece embodies themes of motherhood, elegance, and domestic harmony—subjects that have remained consistently desirable among porcelain collectors and interior designers. It serves equally well as a centerpiece in a traditional setting, a refined accent in a curated collection, or a sentimental heirloom display.
