Item description:
Sculpture in Murano blown glass, opaline with parts in transparent glass and gold leaf and red glass paste cord applied hot on the bottom of the skirt. Depicting a wonderful lady with hat in eighteenth-century clothes. Datable to around 1940-1950. The sculpture has no signatures but can easily be traced back to the work of Archimede Seguso. The principal value of this sculpture lies in the use of a milky white glass paste for the central body, the limbs, the hat and the head of the lady, while the clothes, the hat and the hair are made of transparent glass applied by heat until it covers the whole main body. of sculpture. The lace on the sleeves of the dress is made of transparent glass and, like the bustier, is enriched with gold dust inclusions. Finally, the skirt is decorated with a relief cord in red glass paste, hot applied by hand in a spiral.
Useful information for the evaluation of the object:
In our online searches, we found a pair of similar sculptures, crafted with extremely intricate workmanship in opaline glass, transparent with gold leaf and a red glass cord—exactly the same as our lady, though with a different coloration. This pair was listed on a Murano online site (OMG: Original Murano Glass) for a whopping €1,290. The same site, however, charges exactly half that price for a similar pair, but crafted only in transparent glass, making them much simpler to make. This demonstrates the highly complex and valuable workmanship of this sculpture. On 1StDibs, similar glass sculptures range in price from a minimum of over €400 for individual sculptures to over €3,900 for a pair, depending on the size and complexity of the workmanship. This gives you an idea of the value of objects similar to ours.

OUR COMMERCIAL POLICY
Aware that we operate in the eBay market, our prices are often lower than the prices at which very similar objects are offered on other online sales platforms, the prices at which they are offered by art galleries in cities such as Rome, New York or London and also the best auction results achieved by similar objects, which, overall, can give an indication of the value of the object, while lower auction results or sales at low prices, by inexperienced sellers who do not know the real value of the object, should, in our opinion, be considered as a stroke of luck for the buyer rather than an indication of the value of the object. The price we ask is always the lowest possible considering how much was paid for the object and the eBay commissions (for the sale, payment and any currency exchange: from a minimum of 15% to a maximum of 21%, depending on the country in which the object was sold) because we prefer to retain many customers by earning less on the single object, focusing on quantity.

For each object there may be multiple advertisements in different countries: USA, Italy, France, United Kingdom, etc. Any price differences are due only to changes in the exchange rate of the various currencies between when we made the advertisement and when you see it.

SHIPPING WORLDWIDE - RETURN ALWAYS ACCEPTED
The cost of packaging is also calculated in the shipping cost, and everything has increased by 19% because both ebay and paypal also take fees on the shipping cost.

OUR SHIPMENTS:
.Our shipments cost a little more than the average, but they are all shipments with professional packaging. Double box with a lot of bubble wrap around the object and a lot of soft material in the large cavities on all sides between the two boxes. This means that the package is much larger and heavier and therefore the cost of shipping increases, not to mention all the work necessary to carry out a similar packaging and the cost of the various materials used.
