Description: MEASURES:Height : 18,9 inch ; Width: 5,12 inch ; Depth: 5,51 inchCONDITIONS:Sculpture in perfect condition.Item description: Majestic sculpture in patinated and partially chemically gilded bronze, with black marble base, depicting a half-naked blindfolded goddess with cornucopia in hand, portrayed in the act of distributing coins, therefore wealth, created in 1998, signed and dated on the base with inscribed signature, "F. Schivo", or Félix Schivo, famous Italian artist.Useful information for the evaluation of the object :In the last photos we have put the first four results found for the artist taken from Art Price, with maximum peaks of €4,200 for a bronze boar, a price to which auction fees of 25-30% must be added, to give a general idea of the value and importance of this artist. Then we placed two sculptures, one in plaster and one in terracotta, very similar in style to ours, one sold for €330 and one for €800, always excluding the 25-30% auction fee. We are talking about two smaller sculptures, one in terracotta and the other in plaster, two materials of significantly lower value than bronze. In fact, the highest auction results are mostly bronze sculptures, which have received much higher quotations and sales prices than plaster or terracotta sculptures. Finally, it should be considered that our sculpture is not simply burnished bronze, but chemically patinated and partially gilded bronze, which obviously increases the value of the sculpture even further.Final Thoughts On The Object:The sculpture depicts the Goddess of fortune, a semi-naked woman with a bandage over her eyes, also called the "Lucked Goddess" or "Fortune", often depicted with a cornucopia in her hand full of coins, while the goddess is intent on distributing them to the world, therefore in the act of distributing wealth, with a sexy and alluring pose. The dimensions of the object are important and it is really large, considering that it is 48 centimeters high, on a piece of furniture I can guarantee you that it looks like her. The patination and partial gilding are excellent, made chemically and the surface of the bronze is very particular, crepey and rough and not smooth as normally happens in similar sculptures, this means that we are talking about an artistic object made with a very high quality workmanship.Information on the artist and/or manufacturer:Feliz Schivo is an Italian artist born in 1924 and died in 2006. He boasts numerous auction results, especially for sculptures in plaster, terracotta and bronze, and also for watercolours. In the last photo we have placed an article that talks about a bronze bust made by Felix Schivo, located in the Jardin du Luxemboug in Paris, to give a general idea of the importance of this famous Italian artist.

At the same time, eBay reciprocates with the possibility of selling a high quantity of objects, so our commercial policy is to earn little for the single object, but sell a lot and therefore earn on the quantity. In fact, the asking price is always as low as possible, considering how much the item was paid for and the eBay commissions (for the sale, payment and any currency exchange: from a minimum of 15% to a maximum of 21% , according to the country in which the advertisement was made). For each object there may be multiple advertisements in different countries: USA, Italy, France, United Kingdom, etc. Any price differences are due only to changes in the exchange rate of the various currencies between when we made the advertisement and when you see it.

SHIPPING WORLDWIDE - RETURN ALWAYS ACCEPTEDThe cost of packaging is also calculated in the shipping cost, and everything has increased by 19% because both ebay and paypal also take fees on the shipping cost. OUR SHIPMENTS:.Our shipments cost a little more than the average, but they are all shipments with professional packaging. Double box with a lot of bubble wrap around the object and a lot of soft material in the large cavities on all sides between the two boxes. This means that the package is much larger and heavier and therefore the cost of shipping increases, not to mention all the work necessary to carry out a similar packaging and the cost of the various materials used...
