Rare Archimede Seguso Murano Glass Oriental Figure with Gold Leaf and Corroso, 1950
$4,386.47This investment-grade artwork is a superb testament to the pioneering genius of Archimede Seguso, showcasing a rare combination of complex mid-century glassmaking techniques.The sculpture features a striking structural composition: the core of the lower body is crafted from a deep, vibrant emerald green sommerso glass, while the upper torso and curved arms are richly infused with dense, floating 24-karat gold leaf inclusions (avventurina), capturing and refracting light with unmatched brilliance. The traditional pointed Asian hat and parts of the stylized body feature an exquisite "corroso" (acid-etched/satin) finish, evoking an organic, archaeological charm. This matte texture stands in striking contrast to the high-gloss, pristine surface of the sommerso elements.
