About the Item

This impressive bust dates back to the 1960s and is made of patinated plaster, which gives it a specific historical appearance. It was originally designed as a practical tool for displaying fashion accessories such as hats, scarves, wigs, or jewelry, particularly in shop windows or studios. Today, however, this object serves primarily as an aesthetic "solitaire" in interiors, adding a distinctive touch of elegance and retro nostalgia to the space. The facial representation is characterized by intentional abstraction and simplification, which are typical of the design of that period. The absence of realistic details and the emphasis on clean lines allow the bust to appear very light and timeless in the space, making it easy to fit into both modern and historicizing interiors. It is precisely this formal reduction that makes it not only a functional object from the past but also a distinctive piece of art that attracts attention with its mystery and minimalism. Since the bust has been preserved in its original, very good condition, it represents a valuable historical artifact for collectors and design lovers. Its value lies not only in its authentic patina and state of preservation but also in the possibility of its unconventional use as a striking decorative element. This object thus represents an ideal way to bring an element of individuality and a reminder of the honest craftsmanship of 1960s design into a modern home.

This wonderful restored Italian vintage aqualine plaster of Paris head bust sculpture is so reminiscent of what would be in a museum setting. She has beautiful surreal features with great detail to her very detailed back hair. She sits on a black wood base. Her face is so wonderfully sculpted to perfection of Italian classical beauty. From either the side or frontal view she is beautiful. Please note that we have just done some restorations and cleaning to the plaster of Paris and wood base as it had a crack in it. This is now reflected in the price alteration. It looks amazing now. This is from the 1960s. Sorry the old photos...
