Questions About Carved Figural Sculpture
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 25, 2019

    A figurative, or representational, sculpture depicts a recognizable person or object.

  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 25, 2019

    In carving, material is removed to produce a form; in casting, material is poured into a mold to create the form.

  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 19, 2021
    The difference between carving and sculpture is that carving is a carved object, whereas sculpture is the art of shaping figures or designs — because sculpture can involve adding material (i.e., working with plaster, creating a mold to be cast in bronze), it is considered “additive” versus the “subtractive” act of carving.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Carved African wood figurines were typically spiritual in nature and were primarily in human form. The wood figurines were carved using ebony, teak, mahogany and iron wood. On 1stDibs, find a collection of authentic African wood figurines from some of the world’s top sellers.
