Rupert Carabin Set of Six Castanet Dancers
Located in New York, NY
Carabin's captivating group of six bronze dancers showcases nude models passionately wielding castanets. Five of the dancers are depicted in 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th positions, while the sixth dancer adopts a traditional flamenco stance known as the braceo, characterized by one arm raised and the other resting at the hips in an elegant S shape. The inspiration behind these castanet dancers likely stems from the renowned Spanish performer Carmencita, who gained international fame following her performance at the 1889 Exposition Universelle. Carabin's artistic vision drew from a series of 600 albumen prints capturing nude prostitutes, who frequented local brothels on streets like Rue des Moulins, de Richelieu, d’Amboise, or Joubert. Carabin's early years were marked by his family's exile from Alsace, leading him to settle in Montmartre's red-light district at nine. As an adult, he immersed himself in the vibrant atmosphere of Montmartre's renowned clubs, including the Chat Noir and the Café de la Nouvelle Athènes. In 1895, Carabin crafted 600 nude albumen prints, all of which found a home in the permanent collection of the Musée d'Orsay. Renowned artists such as Degas, Monet, Rodin, Toulouse-Lautrec, and Renoir were avid collectors of Carabin's work, making the prime example of an artists artist.

Antique, New and Vintage Figurative Sculptures
Figurative sculpture is a modern art form in which artists create work that is typically representative of the visible world. However, sculptures that are considered to be figurative in style can definitely be inclusive of abstract elements. A wide range of antique, new and vintage figurative sculptures has been made over the years by both well-known and emerging artists, and these pieces can prove striking and provocative as part of your home decor.
Realistic representation in visual art has a very long history. And while figurative artists, whether figurative painters or sculptors, find inspiration in humans, animals and real-life objects, good figurative sculptures can make us think differently about how the real world should look. Just as figurative paintings might include Photorealistic human likenesses, they can also include elements of Surrealism and can suggest a creative and alternative reality. Figurative sculptures aren’t always realistic impressions of our world — depictions of the human form in classical Greek sculpture, for example, might emphasize beauty and physical perfection.
There are a variety of figurative sculptures on 1stDibs created by artists working in a number of styles, including Art Deco, Art Nouveau, mid-century modern and more. A large figurative sculpture can introduce an excellent focal point in a guest bedroom, while smaller works might draw the eye to spaces such as wall shelving or a bookcase that people may otherwise overlook.
When decorating your living room, dining room, home office and study areas with figurative sculptures, don’t be afraid to choose bold colors to inject brightness into neutral spaces. Texture is another factor to consider when purchasing figurative sculptures. A highly textural work of ceramics or wood will catch the eye in a sleek modern space, whereas a smooth, flat glass sculpture can offer an often much-needed contrast in a room that already has many textures.
On 1stDibs, find antique, new or vintage figurative sculpture or other kinds of sculpture for your home decor today.
