Description
A stunning pair of 1930s plaster bookends/busts of Greco-Roman women with ornate headdress hand painted in 24K gold leaf. The busts feature integral plinth bases and have been hand-painted in black. These great pieces were inspired by ornamental ormolus used on Empire era furnishings inspired by some of the best sculptures of the Neoclassical movement during the 18th and 19th centuries. Very good vintage condition with minor wear according to age. Each measures approx. 8" high x 4" wide x 4" deep. Provenance: From the collection of the late MASSIMO COMOLI, celebrated opera set designer and architect, best known for working with the late Gianni Versace on the redesign of the iconic Villa Casa Casuarina in Miami Beach (formerly known as the Versace Mansion).
