Royal Copenhagen Venus figurine no. 2417 or 132

Royal Copenhagen Venus figurine no. 2417 or 132 is a classic porcelain figurine with a calm and harmonious expression. The motif shows Venus in a relaxed, half-reclining posture, where the body rests lightly against a draped cloth on the round base. The figurine has a soft, sculptural form, which gives the motif a timeless character and brings to mind the beauty ideal of classical mythology.

It is a figurine that appeals to collectors of Royal Copenhagen figurines and to those who appreciate porcelain art with historical inspiration. The surface is executed as overglaze, which emphasizes the figurine's decorative character and gives the motif a warm and lively appearance. The combination of the nude figure, the folded fabric, and the detailed base creates a coherent composition with a clear reference to classical sculpture.

The figurine is designed by Gerhard Henning, who is known for his assured forms and his artistic eye for the human figure. Precisely for that reason, this Venus figurine also holds a special place among collectors of older Royal Copenhagen porcelain figurines. Here, you get both a decorative art object and a piece of Danish design history, created in porcelain and shaped with respect for the motif's balance and movement.

A figurine like this fits beautifully in a display cabinet, on a shelf, or as part of a collection of classical porcelain figurines and art objects. It adds personality and cultural-historical depth to the home, and as older porcelain it is at the same time a sustainable choice for those who appreciate quality objects that are created to last and deserve a long life onward in new surroundings.
