Graces Dance Statue

A tabletop sculpture depicting "The Three Graces" - three dancing Greek mythology goddesses representing charm, beauty, and creativity. It is neoclassical in style, drawing inspiration from classical Greek and Roman art. This is thought to be a representation of a famous sculpture by Antonio Canova. It is also referred to as "Wedding Day" among similar art sculptures. This was likely made in Italy and purchased by a world-traveler (the previous owner who immigrated to America from Italy). A. Santini is often credited with this piece of art. It is believed to have been hand carved out of plaster composite or alabaster, and each comparable art piece appears to have slight variations. We are unsure of the exact history of this particular piece, but it is vintage and was among high-end collectibles from around the world. It is in good-used condition, as shown, sold as-is. (9.5") There is no extra stand for this, it is self-standing and not attached to a marble slab or wooden base.
