Bing & Grondahl Porcelain "The Tinderbox" Hans C Anderson 8051 Royal Copenhagen
Located in Bloomfield Hills, MI
The Tinder Box is a small exquisite porcelain figurine that shines like a jewel. The figures are carefully created in great detail with much attention paid to the clothes and their decorations, the crutch, the cat, etc. This porcelain was based on the Hans Christian Anderson tale of “The Tinder Box”. A soldier is returning from the wars one day when he meets a witch. She tells him that she can give him riches, if he will do a favor for her. There is a hole at the top of a nearby tree. If the soldier climbs the tree, the witch tells him, and slides down the inside of the hollow trunk...

Titus Roman Emperor, Terracotta Round End, 19th Century
Located in Madrid, ES
Titus Roman Emperor, terracotta round end 19th century. Diameter 31cm. thickness 6cm. weigh 8kg. Material terracotta. Very good condition. Titus Flavius Caesar Vespasian Augustus (in Latin: Titus Flavius Caesar Vespasianus Augustus; in the epigraphs: IMP•T•CAESAR•VESPASIANUS•AVG•PON•M•TR•POT[1]; Rome, 30 December 39 – Aquae Cutiliae, 13 September 81, better known simply as Titus, was a Roman emperor, belonging to the Flavian dynasty, and reigned for just over two years from 79 to 81, the year of his death. Before ascending the throne, Titus was an able and esteemed general who distinguished himself for the repression of the rebellion in Judea in 70, during which the second temple in Jerusalem was destroyed. He was considered a good emperor by Tacitus and other contemporary historians; he is known for his program of public works in Rome and for his generosity in rescuing the population following two disastrous events: the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 and the fire in Rome in 80. Famous is the definition that the historian Suetonius gave of him: "Amor ac deliciae generis humani. » « Love and delight of mankind. » Titus' family, the gens Flavia, belonged to that Italian nobility which, in the first half of the first century, was gradually replacing the more ancient Roman aristocracy, weakened by the decades of civil wars fought in the first century BC. The Flavians, in fact, were not of noble origins, but they managed, within just three generations, to rise from humble origins to the honor of the imperial purple. Tito's paternal great-grandfather, Tito Flavio Petrone from Rieti, had fought as a centurion evocatus in the army of Gnaeus Pompey the Great during the civil war of 49-45 BC, fighting in the battle of Farsalo and fleeing after the defeat of the Pompeians; he was pardoned by Cesare and became tax collector...

Large Patinated Terracotta Two Loves Disputing a Heart After Falconet 19th C.
Located in CRÉTEIL, FR
Magnificent and large sculpture in patinated terracotta, entitled “Deux amours disputant un cœur” after Étienne Maurice Falconet (1716-1791), resting on a terrace decorated with a frieze of pearls and wrapped reeds, the second half of the 19th century, and is distributed in bronze, marble, alabaster, terracotta. Two winged loves are depicted in a fight to retrieve a heart figured on the base. Period: End of 19th Century Circa: 1898 - 1900 Dimensions: height: 50cm - width of the base: 28cm Signed: "Falconet" on the terrace. Marked hollow: GC Below Artist, man of letters and esthetician, the career of sculptor Etienne Maurice Falconet (1716 - 1791) is particularly exemplary. Overcoming the handicap of his birth, this brilliant autodidact with an extraordinary personality has rubbed shoulders with the greatest. Protected by Mme de Pompadour, a friend of Diderot and the Encyclopedists, he has established himself by his talent and his culture. The work carried out at Saint Roch church and his position as director of sculpture work at the Manufacture de Sèvres are in a way the prelude to his work in Saint Petersburg. The imposing Bronze Horseman...

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.
