Seated Shoemaker at Work
Bronze-Patinated Metal Sculpture
9" H x 6" W x 6" D
Unsigned

This charming genre sculpture depicts a traditional shoemaker or cobbler intently focused on his craft. Rendered with a bronze-patinated finish, the piece captures a moment of daily labor with historical sensitivity. The figure is shown seated on a workshop stool atop a textured cobblestone-style base, dressed in period-appropriate attire including a wide-brimmed hat and protective apron. The sculpture features excellent narrative detail, including various shoemaking tools, a central last, and finished footwear scattered around the work area.

• Highly detailed modeling of facial features, clothing folds, and workshop paraphernalia
• Warm bronze-toned patina with subtle highlights that accentuate the sculptural forms
• Flat black base with protective pads suitable for display on delicate surfaces
• Classic genre subject matter ideal for library, office, or traditional home decor

Condition: Very good vintage condition. The patinated surface is well-preserved with only minor age-appropriate surface wear. The structure is sound with no chips, cracks, or significant abrasions visible. Base pads remain intact and the piece stands securely.
