Bust of Marcus Aurelius in polychrome marble

This striking vintage bust of a youthful Marcus Aurelius is a masterful example of Neoclassical revival design. Crafted from high-quality cast marble, the sculpture captures the serene expression and iconic, deeply textured curls synonymous with Greco-Roman antiquity. The smooth, polished finish of the bust provides a sophisticated contrast to the heavily distressed black wooden plinth upon which it rests. This intentional juxtaposition of classical form and rustic weathering makes it an ideal statement piece for those who appreciate a curated, academic aesthetic with a hint of bohemian flair. Measuring 8.5" wide, 8.5" deep, and 14.5" tall, this sculptural head is perfectly scaled to anchor a curated bookshelf, an entryway console, or an executive study. It is in great vintage condition, displaying minor surface scuffs and an authentic patina that only serves to enhance its storied character. The distressed finish on the base adds a layer of historic depth, suggesting a piece that has been cherished across generations. Whether anchoring a traditional gallery or adding a timeless touch to a modern home, this Marcus Aurelius bust...
