Cupid. Enameled porcelain. Possibly Meissen, 19th century. With sticker on the base. Has restorations. Porcelain figurine with an oval, gilded base on which Cupid is shown lying down, characterised as usual by his wings, bow and quiver of arrows. He also carries a torch and is shown with a garland of leaves. The piece bears strong similarities to figures found on Meissen clocks dating from the 19th century. VL Veneziani was a shop with its main office on Via Frattina in Rome (and another shop on Via Gregoriana) specialising in selling antique and antique-style paintings, furniture and porcelain. Works related to this trade are held in various private collections and in the Fondazione Federico Zeri of the University of Bologna.
