Pair of white glazed earthenware sculptural groups, Neapolitan area, 19th century.

Depiction inspired by the theme of Cupid and Psyche, here presented in an unconventional iconographic variant with male figures. Molded with manual finishing. Conditions: signs of age, small losses, and restorations. Decorative objects of neoclassical taste, with a pleasant presence, likely intended for a private cabinet. There are objects that do not follow the usual. This pair of sculptural groups stems from a classical theme — Cupid and Psyche — but interprets it in an unexpected way: two male figures, united in an intimate and timeless gesture. It is not academic perfection that makes them special, but precisely this deviation from the usual. A silent rereading, probably born in a decorative context for a secret cabinet, today surprisingly current. Signs of age, restorations, and imperfections tell their story. And perhaps it is precisely this that makes them alive. Dimensions: approx. 37 cm high, base 15 x 12 cm. Objects for those seeking something that is not just "antique", but also meaningful.
