This is another of my genuine 1930s Art Deco Wall Masks or Plaques. This one is also by G. Leonardi but it is not signed as such on the back - but it is firmly documented as being one of his creations.
This one is the registered design Reg No. 809551 238. The green paint tone was very popular in the Deco era - and it is original to the mask. Other ones taken from this mould are more realistically painted - but I like the simple green tone used on this one - it shows up all the lines and modelling in the wall mask.
Dimensions: 10 3/4 inches tall and 6 inches at the widest point.
Each creation was known as Leonardene Art Models exclusive figures. They were designed by British artists and made in London from British materials. Every piece was made and finished by hand. The company was the holder of Diplomas won in world competitions in the early 1930s in Brussels, Florence, London, Padora and Paris.‘
These masks are now hard to find - as there is a certain fragility to them.
This one shows the exaggerated features of a glamourous 1930s lady - she is full of Hollywood style.
The wall mask is in good vintage condition. It has no disfiguring chips or cracks. I have taken lots of photographs for your inspection over for your inspection. She certainly looks very stunning on display and will look fabulous in an Art Deco interior.
She is listed at a fair price.
I will have to post this to you with next-day Special Delivery post in the UK with Royal Mail - as there is a certain fragility to it - and would like to make sure that it is fully insured in transit. This will cost £10 and will be applied to your order at the checkout.
