Large Handcrafted Glazed & Marked Midcentury Pierrot Bust / Pedrolino Sculpture
About the Item
One of a kind and impressive pierrot sculpture on an iron base.
Born as one of the archetypes in the early 18th century, Italian 'commedia dell'arte', the Pierrot (or Pedrolino) character has, over the centuries, become worldfamous. The story and meaning of this naïve, charming and loyal 'clown' has always captured the imagination of romantic people in particular, many of whom became collectors. This large and striking sculpture is made of professional modeling clay (which is like a white terracotta) and it has been hand-painted and glazed in the keln. On the back is the monogram of his creator (J.J.), but unfortunately we don't know who he or she is or which country he or she is from. We were able to salvage this unique work of art from a mansion with an eclectic interior in The Hague, Holland and it is in excellent condition. It can be displayed on the original, black metal stand, but with felt underneath you can also place this fascinating and meaningful sculpture on a large credenza or side table. If you are as impressed with this Pierrot's telling facial expression and large size then this excellent condition work of art could be flying your way soon.
Mind you, our price for this unique sculpture includes perfect packing and also worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 days.
Maximum height x width x depth (including the blackened metal stand): 47 x 20.1 x 17.3 inches.
Maximum height x width x depth without the stand: 23 x 20.1 x 17.3 inches.
Weight: approx. 25 kilogram or 57 pounds lbs.
We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for stylish and artistic and for craftsmanship of years gone by. Your purchases will be extremely well packaged and we look forward to serving you (again).

- Unique Handcrafted Lifesize Bronze Bust Sculpture of Our Dutch Painter RembrandtLocated in Lisse, NLRare, large and stunning bronze bust of Holland's most famous painter. When we first saw this truly large, great looking and very well made bronze sculpture of Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn (1606-1669) we immediately knew we had to have it. Also, because bronze sculptures of Rembrandt really are a rare find. We have searched the worldwide web and we learned that there is not another one of this large bronze busts to be found anywhere in the world. Judging from the material, the patina and the way it was hand-crafted we date this work of art to 1960-1980 and this bust must have been made for either a private collector, an art institution/museum or perhaps for the owner of a gallery. Anyone who understands what it takes to create a bronze sculpture of this size and quality knows that this Rembrandt bust...Category

- Large Antique Hand Carved Sandstone Sculpture, Bust of Christ with Display StandLocated in Lisse, NLTop quality and mint condition bust sculpture from the early 1900s with maker's name. This incredibly well carved bust of Jesus is impressive both for its quality and its large size. With His head bowed down like in His final hours on the cross this design is obviously perfect for displaying on a tall stand. In this case a tall and ebonized wooden pedestal was used and thanks to the contrasting colors of this bust and its pedestal they are like a match made in heaven. The master sculptor / artist could not have done a better job in hand carving the exhausted yet serene facial expression of Christ. The large size of this bust combined with the rare sandstone material makes this work of religious art look extra ancient. Because of its size this archetype of Christianity can also be seen and worshipped from further away. Unfortunately we cannot read the name of the skilled artisan who signed this unique sculpture. Thanks to its amazing quality, its excellent condition, its deeper meaning and its powerful presence this work of religious art will never fail to impress, no matter where you decide to have it on display. For it to have come our way felt like a blessing and to be able to offer it to the 1stdibs community in this amazing condition is an honour for us. Our fair price for this museum worthy sculpture again includes perfect packing and also worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 days.

As many of you will know, the Pietà, depicts the body of Jesus on the lap of mother Mary after the crucifixion. Over the years we have seen this famous biblical scene portrayed in all kinds of materials, but this is the first time we have seen it in glazed and partially colored ceramic. The artist whom created this unique sculpture perfectly captured the sadness and despair of Mary and the disciples by her side. The care with which they are touching and holding the body of Christ also shows their love and affection for Jesus. Anyone who has ever lost a soul mate or a loved that really meant the world to them has an idea of what Mary and the disciples are going through here.
