Napoleon III French Solid Marble Bust, Signed by Sculptor of a Beautiful Women

About the Item

We are delighted to offer for sale this rare and quite exquisite original 19th century Napoleon III French bust of a stunning young lady signed to the rear. A truly stunning sculpture, the look and feel is sublime, this young lady has a look of peace and serenity, from every angle I find her simply charming. In terms of the condition the piece has been lightly cleaned and that's it, otherwise its totally original. I can't see any chips cracks or negative points to note, the underside of the torso is hand cut so it has a rough finish, the base is polished so a very smooth finish which is a nice contrast The piece is signed to the back as pictured but I can't read it, if anyone knows who the sculptor is please feel free to educate me. Dimensions: Height 42cm Width 23cm Depth 16.5cm Please note all measurements are taken at the widest point. This item is available for collection from our Wimbledon warehouses. Condition: Please view the very detailed pictures as they form part of the description around condition. Please note vintage period and original items such as leather seating will always have natural patina in the form of cracking creasing and wear, we recommend regular waxing to ensure no moisture is lost, also hand dyed leather is not recommended to sit in direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time as it will dry out and fade.
