Giuseppe Armani was an Italian sculptor and artist. Born in 1935 he died in 2006.
From an early age he was recognized as a gifted artist. Giuseppe attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence and became well known from his artwork at the Art Gallery in Pisa.
In 1973 he associated with the Florence Sculture d'Arte in Tuscany. Armani's works are known worldwide for their detail, life, and colors.
Several different letters are used to describe the type of finish used on a figurine. The finishes can make the same "model" look dramatically different.
Example, here is product number 1558: Jingles the Clown, in two different finishes:
![]() Finish "E" |
![]() Finish "P" |
* "B" Finish - Patina coloration such as marble.
* "C" Finish - Colors that are bright.
* "E" Finish - Mosaic and patterned effects.
* "F" Finish - Flesh colors or white.
* "M" Finish - Metallic coloration such as bronze.
* "P" Finish - Pastel colors.
* "S" Finish - Used for both the Wildlife series and African-American figurines.
* "T" Finish - Terra-Cotta finish to give the piece a more earthy look.
The most common finish you will find is the "C" variety.
We are finding that more and more people are discovering the beautiful sculptures and artwork Mr. Armani created. The prices for some of his figures have substantially increased in value compared to what they might have fetched a few years ago.
There are not many artists, or companies, who make such large pieces. Some are afraid to make sensual pieces. Many of the pieces are limited editions, and with Armani's passing nothing new is being created. These are true collectibles that will beautify your home.
Checklist for Collecting Giuseppe Armani Figurines:
1. Figurine is in perfect condition, or a condition acceptable to you.
2. Certificate of Authenticity available for limited edition pieces.
3. Is the original box available? Many are not, but the more parts you have of the original sale the more valuable your piece.
4. Confirm it is an Armani statue and not a "like" Armani piece. There is no substitute for the Armani name on the base.
Remember to keep a good perspective on why you want the Armani. If you enjoy the beauty of the piece and it is for your viewing pleasure - does an offer without an original box really matter? If you are looking at an investment to store away then the best price and having more original items will be better.
We hope you enjoy our website as much as we have enjoyed collecting pictures, product details, and values.
