About the Item
This listing is for the bust alone. The marble pedestal is sold separately.
Hand crafted bust of a young boy, signed “Sendelbach.” The sculpture is crafted from clay and finished in gold paint. The piece is mounted to a slate pedestal. Artist signature appears at the base of the neck and appears to read “Sendelbach.” We're uncertain about the age, but our best guess is circa 1970's.
Hand-crafted clay sculpture depicting a young boy, signed “Sendelbach,” finished in radiant gold paint and mounted on a slate pedestal (pedestal sold separately). The bust measures approximately 7 5⁄8 inches (19.4 cm) wide × 8 inches (20.3 cm) deep × 13¼ inches (33.7 cm) high; the base footprint is about 11 5⁄8 inches (29.5 cm) wide × 8¾ inches (22.2 cm) deep.
The facial features are rendered with delicate realism — soft cheek contours, gently modeled hair, serene yet attentive expression — juxtaposed against the bold, reflective gold finish. The artist’s signature is present at the base of the neck (“Sendelbach”), making this piece immediately identifiable.
Clay is in original condition with no cracks or loss; gold finish retains much of its original luster. The pedestal shows a few minor spots consistent with age and handling, adding character without undermining visual integrity.
Though modest in scale, this bust commands attention. It works beautifully on mantels, floating shelves, or console tables; ideally placed where light can play off the gold surfaces and shadow defines form. Its presence pairs well with dark woods, marble, brass or mirrored surfaces, elevating surroundings with its golden voice.
For collectors of figurative sculpture, vintage clay works, or those who delight in artist signed decorative art, this bust offers both lineage and visual drama. It’s more than ornament — a portrait with personality, story, and decorative impact.
