A timeless work of art full of playfulness, seduction, and elegance. This sculpture is made from Neolith, a resin with a stone aggregate, giving it the feel of real stone. The finish consists of high-quality acrylic lacquers. The base colour is spray-applied, and the patina is added by hand using various patination techniques. As a result, each piece has a unique and characterful finish.

Based on Seated Amor by Étienne-Maurice Falconet
Gift tip!

Seated Cupid, 1757
Étienne-Maurice Falconet
Already in the 18th century this famous sculpture was known by various nicknames, the best known of which was l’amour menaçant, ‘menacing love’. The threat is most evident in the Cupid’s knowing gaze, while the gesture he makes invokes us to secrecy. The statue was made for Madame de Pompadour, King Louis XV’s art-loving mistress.
