SENSUOUS CARVED MARBLE NUDE STATUE
This is such a beautiful carving! The artist did an expert job! Not only is the marble a gorgeous color but the smooth texture combined with the rough make this piece very unique and appealing! This contemporary piece is artist signed and dated 1991. No one can go by without wanting to touch her. Every marble carving is one-of-a-kind. Unlike bronzes which are cast, with marble each stone must be carved. This is very time-consuming and makes each carving unique and unable to be copied. It is one of the most difficult mediums in which to create!
ANTIQUE ART DECO/NOUVEAU MARBLE VENUS LAMP
This is a true treasure! It is a fabulously carved marble sculpture from the early 1900s. I called her Venus because she reminds me of Botticelli's famous Birth of Venus 1486 painting where Venus is standing demurely on a shell with the wind blowing her hair. The artist did an expert rendition of the 1400s subject which he brought to his early 1900s era. It is pleasing both to Art Deco and Art Nouveau fans. In addition to being a fabulous sculpture it also happens to be a lamp. The base has a bulb which lights up making this even more beautiful! What a perfect accent piece to a special room!
