A 19th Century Austrian Bust of St John the Baptist After Antonio Rossellino (1427-1479)

19th century
Description

An Austrian pottery 19th century bust of St John the Baptist after the marble original by Antonio Rossellino (1427-1479). The bust measures 34cm high x 29cm wide at the base. It is in good condition, however, there is a firing fault at the back of the head in the form of an indentation which when displayed is not seen.

Rossellino was a most accomplished sculptor. This bust shows St John close to adolescence. He has waving curls and it suggests a the beauty of a young god. This particular piece is Austrian and it has an impressed mark A 368 on the reverse together with a small label.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Antonio Rossellino was a prominent Florentine Renaissance sculptor, and 19th-century European workshops frequently created casts and copies after his works to satisfy growing demand for classical religious art.

Sculptors and foundries typically employed terracotta, plaster casts, carved marble, and patinated bronze, often finishing surfaces with pigments or slips to mimic aged stone.

Authentic pieces exhibit signs of manual finishing, characteristic surface patination, correct weight for the material, and subtle wear across prominent edges, often accompanied by foundry or maker marks along the base.

A sculpture of this scale serves as an ideal accent when placed on a mantelpiece, sideboard top, or nestled within a styled bookshelf surrounded by books and framed artwork.

Dust the item using a soft microfibre cloth or dry bristle brush, keeping water, liquid cleaners, and chemical solvents away from the unsealed surface to prevent staining or degradation.
