At 1stDibs, there are many versions of the ideal porcelain biscuit bust for your home. Each porcelain biscuit bust for sale was constructed with extraordinary care, often using
ceramic,
porcelain and
marble. Your living room may not be complete without a porcelain biscuit bust — find older editions for sale from the 18th Century and newer versions made as recently as the 20th Century. A porcelain biscuit bust is a generally popular piece of furniture, but those created in
Louis XVI,
Neoclassical and
Rococo styles are sought with frequency. You’ll likely find more than one porcelain biscuit bust that is appealing in its simplicity, but
Furstenberg Porcelain,
Manufacture Nationale de Sèvres and
Albert-Ernest Carrier-Belleuse produced versions that are worth a look.
Prices for a porcelain biscuit bust can differ depending upon size, time period and other attributes — at 1stDibs, they begin at $682 and can go as high as $11,544, while the average can fetch as much as $3,697.
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.
