    Description

    This is a vintage Capodimonte Style sculpture of a
    balding aged man sitting on a brick wall
    received as a gift in the mid-1980's.
    Although the Brand is listed as Capodimonte, it is a Capodimonte Style. Ebay's program would not let me enter "DEAR SCULPTURE ARTISTICHE" in the Brand category. On the bottom it also says "Hand Painted Italy".
    The details are amazing: his facial expression, the folds/wrinkles in his clothes, his slippers, back pockets, cane, pipe, etc... Please use the magnifier to examine the piece.
    The sculpture stands 10-7/8" to the top of his head and the base is about 7-1/2" round. It weighs 4 - 5 lbs. The Certificato Di Origine is included. I read the Art. N to be 100. There are initials to the right side of the brick wall on the ground that I read to be BA.
    It has been displayed on a shelf for many years. I don't remember it ever being damaged at all. If anything, the crevices need to be dusted more thoroughly than I did before photographing it. I've got a new 16x12x12 carton picked out for shipping and will pack super well. From recent poor experience with USPS on a larger package, I'm thinking UPS with insurance may be better. If the buyer has a preference, he/she is welcome to message me.
    We Do Not Accept Returns, so please use the magnifier to thoroughly examine the piece. We'll pack well and ship promptly. This first auction attempt is for the US only.
    Thank you for looking and your consideration!
