VTG SIGNED BASIL MATTHEWS CERAMICS-PAIR OF HAND MODELLED/PAINTED SEATED CHEETAHS

Description: Add a touch of Welsh style to your collection with this pair of hand-modeled and painted seated cheetahs by Basil Matthews. The cheetahs are beautifully painted in multicolor and showcase the artist's signature style. A fine vintage example of the work of Welsh Studio Potter, Basil Matthews, { 1913 – 1985 }, this talented self-taught artist opened his own studio in the late 1940’s, and, starting with horses, went on to produce models of all kinds of animals, receiving an endorsement from H.M. Queen Mary for his work. Avoiding mass production, he instead concentrated on limited edition pieces, usually producing no more than about a hundred of each model. An internationally acclaimed designer and figurine artist, Basil Matthews was, until his death in 1985, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, Member of the Society of Industrial Artists and Designers, and Fellow of the Society of Design Craftsmen. These original mid-20th century figurines are a must-have for any animal lover or collector. They are handmade and signed by the artist, making them a unique addition to your collection. The cheetahs come in a set of two and are perfect for displaying together or separately. Get your hands on these exquisite figurines today and add a touch of elegance to your decor. These are in fantastic condition with no chips or cracks!
