Lot #88: Antique 19th-Century Parian Porcelain Classical Maiden with Fruit Basket

An elegant and highly decorative 19th-century Parian porcelain-style classical figurine, beautifully modeled as a graceful maiden carrying an abundant basket of fruit and grapes above her head. The sculpture reflects the strong Neoclassical and Victorian fascination with ancient Greek and Roman form, featuring flowing drapery, a serene expression, finely detailed hair, and an impressive harvest basket overflowing with sculpted fruit. The soft ivory-white finish gives the piece the refined appearance associated with Parian porcelain, prized during the 1800s for its ability to resemble carved marble. The figure’s poised stance, detailed robes, delicate facial features, and richly modeled basket create a striking sculptural presence from every angle. Subtle signs of age further enhance its authentic antique character. A wonderful statement piece for a traditional interior, collector’s cabinet, library, mantel, or classical décor setting.
