Martha J Cornwell American Arts & Crafts Glazed Terracotta Elephant Sculpture
Located in Philadelphia, PA
A fine early 20th century sculpture of an elephant.
Attributed to Martha Jackson Cornwell.
Depicting a stoutly modeled elephant on an integral plinth with a blanket draped across its back and an Indian headdress or harness across its forehead.
Decorated in white, blue, and green glazes on a terracotta body and with inset beads or pearls to the elephant's head and forehead.
Cornwell was a student of Kenyon Cox, Arthur Dow, and Augustus Saint Gaudens at the Art League in New York City at the end of the 19th Century. She was subsequently an assistant to St. Gaudens for a decade and a half on his Shaw Memorial in Boston.
All in all, simply a wonderful, unique sculpture from one of America's important female sculptors of the early 20th Century!

Josép Cardona i Furró Bronze Sculpture of a Boy
By José Cardona
Located in Tilburg, NL
Josép Cardona i Furró bronze sculpture of a boy. Spain, late 19th Century / early 20th century.
This is a bronze sculpture of a boy, made by famous Spanish sculptor Josép Cardona i Furró (1878-1922). Cardona was a good friend of Pablo Picasso and also shared a studio with him. He is part of the second generation of Spanish modernist sculptors. He worked mainly in Spain, but also did work in Paris - which might explain the French inscription on this very sculpture.
A joyful and delicate work, which shows a boy standing...

Unique Arts & Crafts Style Wall Mirror w. Gold Painted Grape Leafs / Wine Theme
Located in Lisse, NL
Striking wall mirror with handcrafted, golden colored grape leafs.
Via one of our foreign contacts we recently purchased this rare and decorative mirror with perfectly realistic grape leaf 'sculptures'. This all handcrafted work-of-art-mirror from the midcentury era displays these golden colored leafs all around. Besides the fact that they are gold painted these 'wine leafs' also stand out, because they are very well created and truly realistic. Have you also noticed the solid brass twirling patterns between each leaf? Anyone who has ever looked at a grape twine up close will recognize what they are. We date this finest workmanship mirror to circa 1960-1970 and both the finest quality workmanship frame AND the original mirror itself could not be in better condition. Thanks to the metal bracket on the back, mounting this stylish and artistic piece can be done in a matter of seconds. All it takes is a hook on your wall. Thanks to its unique design and the rare grape/wine theme this Arts and Crafts style mirror...

Antique Arts & Crafts Wall Coat Rack w. Inlaid Komodo Dragon & Ancient Fish
Located in Lisse, NL
One of a kind coatrack with inlaid geometrical patterns and unique animal 'sculptures'.
With the Arts & Crafts era being one of our favourites, we are always thrilled to find antiques from that era. Especially ones that we have never seen before and that we never expect to see again. We could not be more thrilled to find this unique and pure Dutch Arts and Crafts coat rack and the fact that it is in such amazing condition made us even happier. Finding top quality antiques in this incredibly condition is getting ever harder. This large size but undeep coat rack has an amazing patina, it comes with a set of four perfect brass hooks and several smaller ones as well. They all have the perfect patina and the circular mirror too is the original one and certainly in good enough condtion for you to check your good looks before leaving. However, what makes this remarkable Arts and Crafts work of beauty stand out from anything we ever saw is the combination of geometrical inlays and the unique animal 'sculptures'. Around the turn of the century (so between 1890 and 1910) many Europeans first started to learn about exotic animals in countries far away. The artisan whom created this work of art coat rack must have heard about or seen a first photo of a komodo dragon...

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.
Get started on decorating with sculpture now — find figurative sculptures, animal sculptures and more on 1stDibs today.
