1800s Victorian Sculpture Metal Women

1800s Victorian Sculpture Metal Women, Stamped Antique in Good Condition. Measures 7.5" H x 9" W ... Note one arm repaired, see photos. This unique sculpture is a quintessential example of 19th-century Victorian decorative metalwork, likely crafted from spelter (a zinc-based alloy) or white metal, which was often patinated to mimic the deep, lustrous finish of bronze. This specific piece reflects the Victorian era's fascination with Classical and Renaissance Revival themes, depicting a seated woman in highly ornate, flowing drapery that emphasizes texture and movement. Notice the intricate detailing on the hem of her gown and the classical "Empire" waistline, which were hallmarks of the late 1800s aesthetic meant to evoke a sense of historical grandeur and domestic refinement.
