About the Item
Large 1950s Novita Plaster Bust – Art Deco / Hollywood Regency Mannequin Display
This impressive vintage plaster bust was produced in France during the 1940s–1950s by Novita. The sculpture depicts a glamorous young woman with blonde hair and striking blue eyes, delicately hand-painted with soft facial shading and subtle details.
Busts like these were originally made as shop mannequins or window display figures, often for fashion and lingerie boutiques. Today they are sought-after decorative objects, admired for their cinematic blend of Art Deco and Hollywood Regency appeal.
The piece is marked Novita at the base and comes in an unusually large size, making it a true statement sculpture. With its stylized expression and elegant proportions, it brings a strong mid-century presence to both interiors and collections.
