Item Description
An early 20th century antique French terracotta bust of Marie Antoinette, Queen Consort of France (1775-1792), on an associated white marble socle. This beautiful sculpture exudes elegance and femininity, Antoinette’s soft features captured in delicate detail.
Known for her opulent lifestyle, she is carved wearing a luxurious dress of layered frills over her shoulders with her hair extravagantly styled in large curling loops and decorated with a flower headdress.
If looking to add beauty and history to your home, this bust is the perfect piece, offering a glimpse into the lavish affluence of 18th century royalty in France. The terracotta is indistinctly signed to the reverse.
