About the Item
Two 19th century busts.
Charles X period, ca. 1820.
Material: plaster. It depicts two portraits, modeled by a sculptor in the late Empire era, which depict two aristocrats from Southern Italy.
The Neapolitan origin of the two sculptures suggests the probable proximity of the figures to Bourbon environments.
Sophisticated lady's hairstyle with double braid, attention to the costume, gives a strict look, but with luxury elements of clothing.
While the male bust, perhaps still under the influence of the more purely neoclassical style, has a more "heroic" appearance, invested with more civic virtues, with a proud, decisive appearance and of great character.
The two busts have certainly had many vicissitudes: there are traces of old restorations on the woman's neck, remnants of old dark color, grease in the depressions and wounds, we can imagine that according to fashion they were painted in fake bronze at the end of the 19th century.
All this overlapping of layers gives a charm and patina of an ancient object, not excessively and not obsessively restored.

Pair of Antique Marble Busts
Located in Tyrone, Northern Ireland
An extremely well carved pair of Statuary Carrara marble busts on marble pedestals, by important sculptor Odoardo Fantacchiotti.
Odoardo Fantacchiotti (11 May 1811–4 June 1877) was an Italian sculptor of the late-Neoclassic period. He was born in Rome, but his family moved to Florence. In 1820, he enrolled in the Accademia di Belle Arti di Firenze.
At the Academy, he studied under S. Ricci, and first started exhibiting in 1828. Gaining the patronage of the Grand Duke, he continued his studies, following the ideas of Aristodemo Costoli of depicting the "bello naturale". In 1839 at the Academy, he exhibited the work of the Massacre of the Innocents. In 1840 he was named professor at the Academy.
Among his public works are the statue of Boccaacio and dell'Accorso for the ground floor niches of the courtyard of the Uffizi, medallions commemorating Francesco Redi and the bust of Ferdinando II de Medici for the Museo della Specola, a statue of Sallustio Bandini (now at the Accademia dei Georgeofili, but initially planned for the loggia of the Uffizi.
