Early 20th Century Wooden Carved Bust of David, Italy, around 1930

About the Item

This captivating wooden bust of David, hand-carved in Italy around 1930, offers a glimpse into the early 20th century's artistic sensibilities. The craftsmanship is evident in the meticulous detailing, from the lifelike curls of his hair to the delicate contours of his youthful face. The wood itself, likely a native Italian hardwood, possesses a warm, aged patina, suggesting both the passage of time and the artist's skill in bringing the iconic biblical figure to life. Unlike the dramatic marble rendition by Michelangelo, this David exudes a more contemplative and serene presence. The sculpture, while undeniably influenced by classical ideals, also reflects the Art Deco movement of the period, making it a unique and compelling piece. A unique piece which is a great eye-catcher for your antique, modern, space age or mid-century interior. If you have any more questions we are very happy to help and send you more details, photos, videos, a shipping quote or information. All pieces are looked after in our own restoration workshop. We also can do new upholstery cover or other special requests. Please ask.
