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 Sustainable Choice

FAQs

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.
