About the Item

This striking vintage plaster bust is a masterclass in Neoclassical design, perfectly capturing the scholarly spirit of the 18th-century "Grand Tour." The piece features a finely detailed male portrait in a deep, ebonized finish, offering a dramatic and sophisticated contrast against the richly gilded, draped shoulders. The classical toga and fluted pedestal base evoke the timeless grandeur of Roman and Greek antiquity, providing a distinguished intellectual presence for any curated interior gallery. Its unique two-tone aesthetic reflects the high-end artisanal craftsmanship typical of mid-to-late 20th-century decorative arts. Measuring 9.25 inches wide by 6 inches deep and standing 14.5 inches tall, this substantial sculpture is ideally sized for a grand mantel, a curated library shelf, or as an architectural focal point on an entryway console. The piece is in great vintage condition, displaying minor scuffs and surface blemishes to the plaster that serve as a desirable patina, further enhancing its authentic character and storied history. Whether grounding a Traditional study or adding a layer of history to a Hollywood Regency living space, this bust serves as an authoritative statement piece. Secure this exceptional neoclassical treasure for your personal collection today.
