Giuseppe Armani Style 'Mother and Son' Figurine

This is a decorative resin or composite figurine depicting a seated mother holding a young child on her lap. The sculpture is rendered in a romanticized, Italian-influenced style, reminiscent of the works produced by the Florence Sculture d'Arte studios (Giuseppe Armani). It stands approximately 10-12 inches tall, mounted on a polished circular dark wood base (possibly mahogany or cherry finish). The color palette is composed of muted, earthy tones including cream, pale beige, and a subtle sage green wash that highlights the folds of the mother's off-the-shoulder gown and the texture of the scrolled base. The child is dressed in a simple tunic, looking up at the mother. The craftsmanship involves cast resin with hand-painted details, noted in the delicate facial expressions and the ruffled textures of the clothing. A blue 'As-Is' thrift store price tag is currently adhered to the mother's shoulder, which may leave adhesive residue. There is a small dark spot or puncture visible on the mother's chest area, and the figure shows surface dust consistent with age and shelf display. While no specific maker's mark is visible from this angle, the aesthetic suggests a late 20th-century production, likely from the 1980s or 1990s, aimed at the collectibles market.
