Terracotta Figure Group by Goldscheider C.1900

1900 - 1920
Description

Painted terracotta figure group by the celebrated Austrian pottery studio of Goldscheider c.1900. A young couple in traditional Dutch dress embrace and hold hands. Very well modelled in terracotta with the original painted finish. Signed P.Roy in the clay and with the serial number 2806 10 15 stamped on the rear. Unfortunately the Goldscheider badge is missing though it is obvious where it was originally attached. Roy is a name often found on Goldscheider figures and the formatting of the serial number is absolutely typical of their production. Otherwise very good condition.

Height: 23" (58.5 cm)

Depth: 10" (25.5 cm)

This Art Nouveau figurative sculpture depicts a young man and woman in traditional Dutch dress, embracing with one arm around the other while holding hands and carrying a woven basket. Modelled by the Austrian pottery studio Goldscheider around 1900, the earthenware piece features an original painted finish in muted green and beige tones, detailed carved folds in their draped garments, and traditional clogs on their feet. Signed P.Roy in the clay with a stamped serial number on the rear, the sculpture shows an empty space where the original manufacturer badge was attached. Measuring 58.5 cm high, 35.5 cm wide, and 25.5 cm deep, this terracotta group brings historical character to a gentleman's library. It sits comfortably on top of a sideboard in a living room, hallway, or study, offering a decorative focal point that pairs well with traditional or eclectic interior schemes.

FAQs

Produced primarily in Vienna around 1900, these are earthenware ceramic sculptures depicting naturalistic, orientalist, or genre subjects, highly regarded for their Art Nouveau detailing and craftsmanship.

These pieces were cast using refined clay, kiln-fired at moderate temperatures, and finished using polychrome paints, cold-applied pigments, or patinated surface glazes to achieve complex drapery and skin tones.

Authentic examples typically feature impressed manufacturer stamps such as Goldscheider Wien, model numbers, artist signatures, and distinct matte cold-painted finishes on fine-grained red or pale clay bodies.

A figural terracotta sculpture functions effectively on a sideboard, console table, or within an open shelving unit to provide sculptural height and historic detail to modern living spaces.

Dust gently using a soft microfibre cloth or dry soft-bristled brush, avoiding water, chemical detergents, or liquid polish that could soften or remove the delicate cold-painted pigments.
