R. Zacchetti Girl with a Doll. Antique bronze sculpture from the Fascist era, circa 1938, depicting a girl holding a doll in her arms. On the front and back, there is an engraving with the title "Bambole," and at the bottom, a signature connection is present, attributed to R. Zacchetti.

It rests on a rectangular base made of green marble, with a minor chip in the front right corner; aside from this detail, the sculpture has a beautiful bronze patina and is in excellent condition. It comes from a private collection of a Milanese residence.

The bronze figure itself, without the marble base, measures 26 cm in height, 13 cm in width, and 16 cm in depth.

Renzo Zacchetti exhibited at Permanente in Milan and has been present at union exhibitions in Milan since 1936, organized by the Interprovincial Fascist Fine Arts Union in Milan. He continued his exhibition activity, reopening the Palazzo between 1953-1972, mainly at social exhibitions and biennials.

Luxury antique furniture and decor accessories can be an excellent idea for interior design. Today, there is a growing number of enthusiasts for high-quality vintage items that possess distinct character and soul. This is a nod to history, craftsmanship, and the creation of classic and timeless furniture. There are many different styles in antique furniture, each with its own distinctive features.

Many styles characterize antique furniture, but a few are particularly notable. Eclectic furniture refers to the 19th century, dominated by the Biedermeier style. Its early 20th-century variants include neo-Gothic, Gothic, Rococo, Louis-Philippe style, and the English Victorian style. By the end of the century, these styles evolved into pseudo-classicism, Renaissance, and Baroque styles.

Empire-style furniture and accessories date from the late 18th to early 19th centuries. Everything was influenced by Napoleon’s reign, which imposed significant similarities and references to Roman and Greek ornamentation.

Neoclassical furniture is associated with Louis XVI style, which also strongly references ancient architecture. Interesting and noteworthy are antique products in Rococo and Louis XV styles. The next is Baroque, a term derived from the Portuguese "barocco"—meaning an irregularly developed pearl. These were highly decorative pieces designed to exude splendor and play a significant role in luxury. Exclusive, selectively used materials were employed to further emphasize the grandeur of these items.

Today, we can observe how much the Baroque style influenced modern classical furniture, which is often designed with a strong resemblance to the historical period. An important style as well is Renaissance, which flourished in the 15th and 16th centuries and left a significant mark on furniture design. Renaissance furniture was quite heavy and massive, often using brown stains, moldings, sturdy bases, and relief decorations. These products were quite distinctive but also opened up new possibilities, such as the construction of cabinets and generally box-like furniture. Mythology and ancient times also inspired these designs, with supports and legs often taking animal forms.

Lion’s paws, eagle heads—these are common motifs in Renaissance style. Currently, many global brands reproduce furniture inspired by Italian and French creators, demonstrating admiration and respect for the history of the most beautiful Renaissance antiques. It’s important to remember that furniture production was perceived differently in each country, and each style had its own character. This is especially important when searching for an exclusive antique that suits your interior.

The most important aspect of prestigious antique furniture is originality. This is ultimately crucial for buyers, as many forgeries circulate on the market.
