African Stone Sculpture, Female Bust, Signed and Numbered, Zimbabwe, 20th Century A powerful and contemplative African stone sculpture depicting a stylised female bust, carved from solid natural stone and attributed to a Zimbabwean artist, signed indistinctly (possibly Vaduku) and numbered 1150. This striking 20th-century sculpture exemplifies the refined abstraction and spiritual depth characteristic of Shona and modern African stone sculpture traditions. Carved from a single, substantial block of stone, the sculpture features a serene female visage with softly closed eyes and elongated facial proportions, conveying calm introspection and timeless dignity. The textured, sculptural hair or headdress contrasts beautifully with the smoothly polished face and torso, creating a dynamic interplay between rough-hewn and refined surfaces. The natural stone displays rich tonal variations in deep green, grey, and earthy mineral hues, enhancing its organic presence and sculptural gravitas. Reportedly acquired in Zimbabwe, this work reflects the internationally celebrated African stone carving movement that flourished in the mid-to-late 20th century, renowned for its fusion of traditional African symbolism with modernist sculptural language. The impressive scale, weight, and material integrity give this piece a commanding physical and visual presence, making it an exceptional statement artwork for collectors and interior designers alike. Ideal for display in curated art collections, luxury interiors, galleries, sculpture gardens, or architectural spaces, this African stone bust functions as both a cultural artefact and a bold decorative sculpture. Its contemplative expression and monumental form bring depth, authenticity, and refined global character to any environment.

Signed Zimbabwean Stone Sculpture, Abstract Modernist Form, 20th Century Height: 28 cm Width: 18 cm Material: Solid hand-carved stone Origin: Zimbabwe, Southern Africa Artist: Signed TAF KDZHIA, numbered 250 Date: 20th Century This striking African stone sculpture is a powerful example of 20th-century Zimbabwean Shona-inspired modernist carving, signed TAF KDZHIA and numbered 250. Hand-carved from a single block of solid stone, the sculpture presents a highly stylized abstract human form, characterized by flowing contours, rhythmic balance, and a serene, introspective presence. The composition demonstrates a refined mastery of form and negative space, with softly rounded planes contrasted by sharply incised linear details. The gently tilted head and simplified facial features evoke calm, contemplation, and spiritual depth—hallmarks of Zimbabwean contemporary stone sculpture. The natural stone displays a richly varied surface with organic green, grey, ochre, and earthy inclusions, enhancing both its tactile appeal and sculptural integrity. The polished finish highlights the stone’s natural veining while preserving subtle tool marks, underscoring the hand-carved nature of the work. Signed and numbered at the base, this piece reflects the growing international recognition of African modernist stone artists during the late 20th century, particularly those associated with Zimbabwe’s renowned sculpture movement. Ideal as a collector’s sculpture, gallery display piece, or architectural interior accent, this work bridges traditional African carving traditions with modern abstraction. It integrates effortlessly into contemporary, minimalist, and curated ethnographic interiors, offering both cultural significance and sculptural sophistication. Condition In very good condition overall, with natural surface variations inherent to the stone and the artist’s carving process. No structural damage observed. Please refer to images for detailed condition. Zimbabwean stone sculpture • African...

Murano hand blown Italian art glass bird sculpture or figurine features a minimal, restrained palette of dark red and off-white with delicate gold lead, or aventurine, accents. The colored glass is encased in a layer clear glass in sommerso technique, adding depth and complexity to the piece. The bird is sitting on sculptural, rounded base, done in clear glass with gold flecks, elevating it without adding a visually heavy element. The main color is referred to as "Ruby Red" in Weil's catalogue of Alfredo Barbini Murano glass. The piece is marked with the original gold & red oval scalloped foil label, “Venetian - Made by Alfredo Barbini for Weil Ceramics and Glass - Murano Italy”, that was in use in 1960s. It is in very good vintage condition, and is ready to be displayed; it would make a great gift to a collector or a design enthusiast and a great display piece on a shelf or a table, and make a perfect addition to a wide range of interiors, from Traditional to Mid Century Modern, Transitional, Collected, or Contemporary.
