Whisper of Lace — Intricate Detailed Victorian Alabaster Lady Bust on Marble Plinth Circa 1880-1910 - 15”
Couldn't load pickup availability
A portrait in stone that feels almost whispered rather than carved. This graceful Victorian lady emerges in luminous alabaster, her expression serene, her bonnet and collar rendered in extraordinary openwork lace that captures light from every angle. The sculptor’s attention to texture — from the soft bow at her throat to the delicately pierced brim — gives the piece an ethereal presence rarely found outside grand European interiors. Likely Italian provenance.
She rests upon a contrasting marble plinth, grounding the airy refinement above with classic architectural weight. Equally at home atop a console, secrétaire, or library pedestal, this bust brings a gentle romanticism and unmistakable old-world elegance to a room.
A collector’s decorative sculpture that reads both feminine and timeless — refined enough for formal spaces, yet warm enough to soften modern ones.
