ABOUT
Salvatore Melani (1902–1934) was an Italian sculptor known for his elegant and dynamic Art Deco creations. Working primarily in France, he gained recognition for his refined figurative works, often depicting dancers, athletes, and animals with a strong sense of movement and stylized grace. Melani frequently used materials such as bronze, spelter, and ivory, reflecting the decorative trends of the period. His sculptures are admired for their sleek lines, balanced proportions, and expressive poses. Although his career was brief, his work remains highly collectible today, embodying the sophistication and modernity of early 20th-century European decorative arts.
