LUIGI TOMMASI FOUNDRY BRONZE WOMAN WALL PLAQUE - Vintage bronze wall plaque of a woman reclining on a partially draped table near a window. The disarray of the table and the distant expression of the woman evokes a longing which cripples both mind and body. The artist signature reads 'ELKA', which is either a first name or lengthy initials. The stamp on the side reads 'Fonderia / Luigi Tomassi / Pietrasanta'. The Luigi Tomassi foundry was active from 1957 to 1985 and produced a variety of Classically-inspired and Midcentury Modern pieces throughout that time period. The Italian town Pietrasanta itself has been a hotspot of bronze sculpture since the Renaissance, a tradition which this piece extends.15 lbs Size: 14 x 12.25 x 3” Condition: Wear commensurate with age.
