Pair of Plaster Busts of African Traders

1900 - 1920
Description

A stunning pair of Art Nouveau period plaster busts. The bust are modelled as a couple, male and female, of African traders or merchants. The pair are typical of the sort of works created by the likes of Goldschneider or Royal Dux during the Art Nouveau period and must have been made in that vein although the pair are not marked. The paintwork is in very good condition and of a high standard. There have been some minor chips to the robes as one would expect with works in plaster, which have been professionally repaired. The pair are hugely decorative and in good condition. C.1900.

overall sizes each in inches:

8 1/2 wide

15 high

5 1/2 deep

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.
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.
