With a vast inventory of beautiful furniture at 1stDibs, we’ve got just the alabaster bust of woman you’re looking for. Frequently made of
stone,
alabaster and
marble, every alabaster bust of woman was constructed with great care. Your living room may not be complete without a alabaster bust of woman — find older editions for sale from the 19th Century and newer versions made as recently as the 20th Century. A alabaster bust of woman, designed in the
Art Nouveau,
Neoclassical or
Victorian style, is generally a popular piece of furniture. Many designers have produced at least one well-made alabaster bust of woman over the years, but those crafted by
Adolfo Cipriani are often thought to be among the most beautiful.
The presence of vintage and antique bust sculptures can add a necessary decorative layer to any interior. And just because a statue looks classical doesn't mean it has to be conventional.
A touch of whimsy, a dose of drama — a single bust can alter a room. And when placed in just the right spot, these statues can almost feel alive.
“They give humanity in a way that a more abstract sculpture can’t give,” says Los Angeles designer Timothy Corrigan, who loves pieces that beg to be touched. For a welcoming entry hall project in California, Corrigan selected an antique Persian rug and a bust that invites you to touch it. A collection of sculptures in wood, marble and brass complement the star of the show.
For Consort cofounder and creative director Mat Sanders, a bust doesn’t have to be pretty. “I most enjoy busts that are a little busted,” Sanders jokes — but choose something with a soul you can live with, as “sculpture representative of the human form carries with it an energy you will add to the space.”
The antique and vintage bust sculptures for sale on 1stDibs include Art Deco busts, mid-century modern busts and more.
