By: unknown
Material: ceramic, enamel, paint
Technique: pressed, molded, enameled, polished, painted

Style: Post-Modern, Mid-Century Modern, Space Age, Minimalism
Place of origin: France
The sleek minimalism of French design in the 1960s and 70s took inspiration from groundbreaking fashion of the era. This stylish pair of black ceramic busts embodies the refined aesthetic that bridged Mid-Century and Post-Modern décor. Though subtly detailed, the fluid curves and interplay of matte and glossy black across these sensuous feminine forms exude refined elegance. Unadorned to spotlight their tactile ceramic and lustrous enamel, the busts' graceful elongated shapes let the richness of the materials take center stage.
Both sculptural objets d'art and enticing objets de vertu, this striking duo evokes French Modernism's pairing of luxury with clean lines and restraint. Understated yet alluring, these busts will lend any contemporary interior a sophisticated, fashion-inspired aesthetic. Their timeless blend of sensuality and restraint channels the glamour of 20th century French design.
Both busts feature an aperture at the top and rear to accommodate a lightbulb and cord, as they were originally fashioned as electric lamps. Further, chipping is evident around the uppermost area, revealing the unglazed ceramic surface underneath.
