Salvatore Melani (Italian, 1902-1934). An Art Deco bronze figure of Diane the Huntress
Kneeling upon a marble plinth, signed by the artist in the bronze.
Salvatore Melani (Italian, 1902–1934) was an Art Deco sculptor best known for elegant figurative works in bronze, plaster, spelter, and chryselephantine-style materials. He worked in France and is associated with the interwar Art Deco movement, creating dynamic subjects such as female archers, dancers, warriors, panthers, and women with greyhounds. His sculptures often combine streamlined forms, athletic poses, and decorative glamour, reflecting the modernist optimism of the 1920s and 1930s. Melani’s signed works remain popular in the decorative arts market, particularly his bronze and painted plaster figures.
