Description

A large plaster composition of a classical maiden holding a wreath with later olive-painted wooden plinth, circa. late 19th/early 20th century.

The figure is crisply cast and of good proportions at just under four foot in height. There is damage to the left 'wreath-holding' arm; this is not visible when the figure is viewed from the front (as concealed by the wreath) and the arm remains stable with no movement.

The later plinth has some blossoming and scuffs/marks throughout but displays well.

Provenance: Private collection of the late Simon Scott-Brown (artist and interior designer). Please see photographs for an image showing this model in his living room at East Down Manor, Devon.

FAQs

Plaster composition figures inspired by classical antiquity gained immense popularity during the 19th and early 20th centuries as affordable yet refined alternatives to marble for academies, studios, and domestic interiors.

These sculptures are typically crafted from a mixture of plaster of Paris, fibrous reinforcement materials, and sometimes a wooden or metal armature to provide internal structural support.

Authentic pieces usually exhibit natural age-related patina, minor surface wear, dense weight composition, and construction methods characteristic of early 20th-century or earlier studio casting.

Plaster sculptures add architectural depth and neoclassical elegance when placed in empty corners, on dedicated plinths, or juxtaposed against minimalist contemporary furnishings.

Plaster is extremely porous and water-soluble; items should be gently dusted using a soft, dry brush or microfibre cloth without the application of water or chemical cleaning agents.
