About the Item

Mid-Century Hand-Sculpted Plaster Head on Formica-Clad Wood Base ⸻ Description Striking hand-sculpted plaster head from the mid-20th century, mounted on a sculptural Formica-over-wood base. The figure features elongated proportions, softly modeled facial features, and a textured hair surface that adds depth and visual interest from every angle. The contrast between the organic plaster form and the clean, architectural base gives the piece a strong modern presence. The base’s Formica finish is characteristic of mid-century design and grounds the sculpture with a distinctly period feel. An illegible signature or mark is present, suggesting studio or artist-made origins. Unidentified, but clearly hand-crafted, this piece works beautifully as a stand-alone object on a pedestal, console, or bookshelf, and pairs easily with both modern and eclectic interiors. Wear and surface variation are consistent with age and hand manufacture, adding to the sculpture’s character. ⸻ Details • Period: Mid-Century • Materials: Plaster; Formica over wood • Condition: Vintage condition with light wear • Signature: Illegible
