Jospeh Nollekens (1814) Weathered Antique Marble Bust
About the Item
A weathered antique marble bust attributed to the the studio of late 18th century/early 19th century sculptor, Joseph Nollekens R.A. Signed ‘J.Nol NS R.A. 1814’ to the reverse, this bust depicts a gentleman gazing to his right and shoulders swathed in drapery on an associated period socle base.
Though the marble is nicely weathered, details of the bust remain distinguishable and intact after more than more than 200 years including the gentleman’s prominent nose, ears and locks of curling hair.
With its timeworn look and classical subject, this antique marble bust will look particularly striking placed on a pedestal in an interior or beneath a weathered alcove in an outdoor setting.
Joseph Nollekens (1737-1823)
Born in London, Joseph Nollekens was one of the finest British sculptors of the late 18th century, building his reputation on the production of Regency portrait busts.
After studying in Rome from 1762-1770, Nollekens returned to Britain with a long list of aristocratic patrons, quickly becoming Britain’s most fashionable sculptor. Some of his most famous subjects included King George III, William Pitt the Younger, Charles James Fox and Benjamin West. In 1770, he was elected a Royal Academician of the Royal Academy of Arts.

Pair of Antique Marble Busts
Located in Tyrone, Northern Ireland
An extremely well carved pair of Statuary Carrara marble busts on marble pedestals, by important sculptor Odoardo Fantacchiotti.
Odoardo Fantacchiotti (11 May 1811–4 June 1877) was an Italian sculptor of the late-Neoclassic period. He was born in Rome, but his family moved to Florence. In 1820, he enrolled in the Accademia di Belle Arti di Firenze.
At the Academy, he studied under S. Ricci, and first started exhibiting in 1828. Gaining the patronage of the Grand Duke, he continued his studies, following the ideas of Aristodemo Costoli of depicting the "bello naturale". In 1839 at the Academy, he exhibited the work of the Massacre of the Innocents. In 1840 he was named professor at the Academy.
Among his public works are the statue of Boccaacio and dell'Accorso for the ground floor niches of the courtyard of the Uffizi, medallions commemorating Francesco Redi and the bust of Ferdinando II de Medici for the Museo della Specola, a statue of Sallustio Bandini (now at the Accademia dei Georgeofili, but initially planned for the loggia of the Uffizi.
