This 1930 Art Deco bust by sculptor Bohumil Rezl depicts a female profile with an upturned face and swept-back stylised wavy hair. The warm beige terracotta sculpture stands upon a square black wooden plinth base, presenting smooth surfaces alongside textured hair and crisp facial features. The piece measures 32 cm high, 22 cm wide, and 20 cm deep, and shows minor signs of age while remaining free from damage. In a modern home, this sculpture suits placement upon a mantelpiece or a side table within a living room, hallway, or study. The contrast between the terracotta sculpture and the dark plinth brings classic twentieth-century design to any interior display surface.

FAQs

Art Deco sculpture from the 1920s and 1930s is characterised by streamlined forms, stylised geometric hair, dynamic poses, and modern aesthetic elegance.

Sculptors frequently utilised cast terracotta, plaster, bronze, and glazed ceramics, often mounting figures on polished wood or marble bases.

Authentic 1930s pieces often feature sharp, stylised hair contours, upturned facial profiles, artist signatures near the base, and age-appropriate patination on the plinth.

Position the sculpture on a mantelpiece, console table, or open bookshelf to serve as a focal point alongside minimalist decor and modern art prints.

Dust gently with a soft microfibre cloth or dry paintbrush, avoiding water or chemical cleaners that could penetrate porous surfaces or lift patinas.
