Ernst Wahliss Art Nouveau Large Porcelain Figure of Woman with Scarf, 43 Cm

19th century
Description

Art Nouveau Porcelain Figurine by Ernst Wahliss, Vienna, c. 1897

This exceptional porcelain figurine by renowned Austrian ceramicist Ernst Wahliss is a striking example of Art Nouveau craftsmanship and design from approximately 1897. It features a gracefully posed woman draped in flowing garments, accentuated by an elegantly sculpted scarf cascading around her.

Remarkably well-preserved, this piece retains delicate details such as finely sculpted fingers, intricate folds of the scarf, and porcelain flowers decorating her shoes—elements often vulnerable to damage.

The original enamel finish remains vibrant, enhancing the beauty of this rare sculpture. Marked underneath with a blue crown mark reading "Depose/EW/Turn Wien/Made in Austria," confirming its late 19th-century origin.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Art Nouveau porcelain figures produced between the late 19th and early 20th centuries are distinguished by sinuous lines, draped flowing garments, organic silhouettes, and muted glazes often depicting female maidens.

Ernst Wahliss ceramic pieces were manufactured using fine porcelain or earthenware clay, finished with matt or semi-gloss glazes, hand-painted floral embellishments, and soft gilt highlights.

Authentic items typically feature impressed or printed factory marks on the underside, including Turn-Wahliss, EW, or crown-and-shield stamps accompanied by numerical shape or mould numbers.

Place the sculpture on a dark wood console table, mantelpiece, or glass display cabinet where the flowing silhouette can contrast clearly against a neutral backdrop.

Dust the item gently using a dry, soft microfibre cloth or camel-hair brush, avoiding liquid chemical cleaners, water immersion, or abrasives that can strip delicate overglaze gilding.
