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.

Questions About Sculptures

  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 25, 2019

    In carving, material is removed to produce a form; in casting, material is poured into a mold to create the form.

  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 25, 2019

    The four basic methods of sculpture are molding, casting, carving and assembling.

  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 7, 2024
    There are several main types of sculptures. Relief sculptures feature an image carved into a flat surface, such as a piece of stone or marble, while carved sculptures begin as a block of material that a sculptor works on with tools. To produce a cast sculpture, an artist makes a mold and then fills it with a material, such as molten bronze. Additive sculpture is the process of creating art by adding pieces to a base material, while assembly sculpture involves combining objects together. With modeled sculptures, an artist shapes a malleable material like clay or wax. Installation sculptures are built into a specific site, while kinetic sculptures produce a real or simulated sense of movement. Explore a wide range of sculptures on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 25, 2019

    Organic sculptures have irregular forms derived from nature.

  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 25, 2019

    In additive sculpture — as opposed to subtractive sculpture, such as statues carved from stone — materials like clay or wax are built up to create a form.

  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 25, 2019

    A figurative, or representational, sculpture depicts a recognizable person or object.

  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 25, 2019

    Abstract sculptures do not depict real objects.
