Finding the Right Figurative-sculptures for You

Figurative sculpture is a modern art form in which artists create work that is typically representative of the visible world. However, sculptures that are considered to be figurative in style can definitely be inclusive of abstract elements. A wide range of antique, new and vintage figurative sculptures has been made over the years by both well-known and emerging artists, and these pieces can prove striking and provocative as part of your home decor.

Realistic representation in visual art has a very long history. And while figurative artists, whether figurative painters or sculptors, find inspiration in humans, animals and real-life objects, good figurative sculptures can make us think differently about how the real world should look. Just as figurative paintings might include Photorealistic human likenesses, they can also include elements of Surrealism and can suggest a creative and alternative reality. Figurative sculptures aren’t always realistic impressions of our world — depictions of the human form in classical Greek sculpture, for example, might emphasize beauty and physical perfection.

There are a variety of figurative sculptures on 1stDibs created by artists working in a number of styles, including Art Deco, Art Nouveau, mid-century modern and more. A large figurative sculpture can introduce an excellent focal point in a guest bedroom, while smaller works might draw the eye to spaces such as wall shelving or a bookcase that people may otherwise overlook.

When decorating your living room, dining room, home office and study areas with figurative sculptures, don’t be afraid to choose bold colors to inject brightness into neutral spaces. Texture is another factor to consider when purchasing figurative sculptures. A highly textural work of ceramics or wood will catch the eye in a sleek modern space, whereas a smooth, flat glass sculpture can offer an often much-needed contrast in a room that already has many textures.

On 1stDibs, find antique, new or vintage figurative sculpture or other kinds of sculpture for your home decor today.

Questions About Murano Glass Chinese Figures
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 13, 2024
    To spot Chinese fake Murano glass, use a magnifying glass to examine its surface. Murano glass is handmade, so you can expect to see small imperfections, such as bubbles and irregularly shaped edges. Replicas produced overseas are machine-made and tend to be more uniform. As you study your piece, you should be able to detect multiple layers of glass on an authentic Murano, but a replica will often be composed of a single, thick piece of glass. Finally, check the maker's mark and compare it to images of the signatures found on authentic pieces produced by that workshop, artisan or factory. Alternatively, you can have a certified appraiser or experienced antique dealer evaluate your item. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of Murano glass.
