About the Item

Antique Continental Gilt Bronze Ormolu Gold Female Bust Figure Sculpture Continental Ormolu (Gilt Bronze) c. 1900 Dimensions: H x D: 13cm x 7cm This charming decorative figure is cast as a female bust. Crafted at the turn of the 20th century, it reflects the cultural and societal shifts of the time. Busts were commonly displayed in bourgeois homes, however, with the growth of the middle class and their increasing disposable income, smaller collectible busts like this one became highly desirable. Valued for their design and craftsmanship, these pieces often depicted famous individuals, classical figures, or, as in this case, anonymous idealised women. The young lady is portrayed with a fashionable hairstyle and a joyful, happy expression. A voluminous bonnet with delicate feather detailing adorns her head, secured by a ribbon that wraps under her chin and ties at her chest. The flared shoulders of her dress add a sense of refined grandeur, leading to a low neckline framed by a ribbon motif that echoes the design of the headpiece. The casting of this piece is superb, with intricate details such as the texture of the hair and the vibrant expression rendered with precision. The bust rests on a turned, stepped base, its elegant design naturally drawing the viewer’s eye to the female figure, which remains the focal point of the piece. Celebrating great craftsmanship and exquisite detail, this antique is not only visually captivating but also historically significant, once serving as a treasured addition to a discerning art collection.
