1930s Hand-crafted Terracotta Sicilian Sculpture of an Old Man Bust
Located in Catania, Sicilia
An Hand-crafted Terracotta Sculpture of an Old Man Bust in original patina with signs of use and age hand-cratfted in Sicily in the first half of 20th century. This terracotta of an old man bust, is a remarkable piece of art with historical and artistic significance. The portrayal of an old man bust in terracotta can convey a sense of wisdom, experience, and the passage of time. It may capture the unique characteristics and expressions of an elderly individual, reflecting the artist's ability to capture the nuances of human facial features and emotions. The original patina on the sculpture indicates the natural aging process that the terracotta has undergone over time. The patina may consist of a weathered and aged surface, resulting from exposure to environmental elements such as air, light, and moisture. This patina contributes to the sculpture's overall authenticity, character, and historical value. Signs of use and age further enhance the sculpture's historical appeal. These signs can...

Antique, New and Vintage Sculptures

Styling your home with vintage, new and antique sculptures means adding a touch that can meaningfully transform the space. By introducing a sculptural work as a decorative finish to any interior, you’re making a statement, whether you tend toward the dramatic or prefer to keep things casual with modest, understated art.

A single, one-of-a-kind three-dimensional figurative sculpture mounted on your dining room wall is a guaranteed conversation piece, while a trio of abstract works arranged on your living room bookshelves can add spontaneity to the collection of first-edition novels or artist monographs you’re displaying as well as draw attention to them. Figurative sculptures are representational works that portray a specific person, animal or object. And while decorating with busts, which are sculpted or cast figurative works, hasn’t exactly topped the list of design trends every year, busts are back. According to designer Timothy Corrigan, “They give humanity in a way that a more abstract sculpture can’t give.” Abstract sculptures, on the other hand, are not meant to show something specific. Instead, they invoke a mood or scene without directly stating what they are portraying.

Busts made of stone or metal may not seem like a good fit for your existing decor. Fortunately, there are many ways for a seemingly incongruous piece to fit in with the rest of your room’s theme. You can embrace a dramatic piece by making it the focal point of the room, or you can choose to incorporate several elements made out of the same material to create harmony in your space. If an antique or more dramatic piece doesn’t feel like you, why not opt for works comprising plastic, fiberglass or other more modern materials?

When incorporating sculpture into the design of your home — be it the playful work of auction hero and multimedia visionary KAWS, contemporary fiber art from Connecticut dealer browngrotta arts or still-life sculpture on a budget — consider proper lighting, which can bring out the distinctive aspects of your piece that deserve attention. And make sure you know how the size and form of the sculpture will affect your space in whole. If you choose a sculpture with dramatic design elements, such as sharp angles or bright colors, for example, try to better integrate this new addition by echoing those elements in the rest of your room’s design.
