Venetian Bust For Sale on 1stDibs
At 1stDibs, there are many versions of the ideal venetian bust for your home. Each venetian bust for sale was constructed with extraordinary care, often using stone, marble and bronze. Your living room may not be complete without a venetian bust — find older editions for sale from the 18th Century and newer versions made as recently as the 20th Century. You’ll likely find more than one venetian bust that is appealing in its simplicity, but Kiki Kogelnik produced versions that are worth a look.
How Much is a Venetian Bust?
Prices for a venetian bust can differ depending upon size, time period and other attributes — at 1stDibs, they begin at $2,200 and can go as high as $39,004, while the average can fetch as much as $4,400.
Finding the Right Busts for You
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.
