About the Item
An 18K Gold and Gem Set Bust of a King, by George Weil London, circa 1970
This magnificent 18K gold and gem-set bust of a king, crafted by George Weil in London, stands as an embodiment of artistic and royal magnificence, destined to captivate the discerning collector with its opulence.
Weil's masterful touch is evident in every detail of the stylized face and beard of the king, revealing a harmonious blend of skill and creativity. The crown, adorned with diamonds, emeralds, sapphires, and pearls, crowns the figure with a resplendent aura, evoking a sense of majesty and authority that befits royalty.
The bust is poised on a lapis lazuli plinth, adding depth and richness to the composition. Lapis lazuli, historically associated with royalty and power, further accentuates the regal theme of the sculpture.
Aesthetically framed within a plexiglass box, this royal bust takes center stage, preserved and protected for generations to come. The presentation on a black painted wood base enhances the overall visual impact, providing a fitting stage for the king's grandeur to unfold.
Owning this masterpiece by George Weil is more than acquiring a sculpture; it is an investment in a narrative of royal elegance. The interplay of gold and precious gemstones, coupled with Weil's artistic vision, elevates this piece to a pinnacle of luxury and sophistication.
