Created in the early decades of the twentieth century, this French academic wax sculpture depicting the head of Venus is a sublime example of grace and refinement. Originally from the warehouses of the French academic school, it represents an authentic testimony to the formative sculptural art that influenced generations of European artists.

The amber effect, achieved through a special wax processing, gives the work a unique luminosity and a warm, enveloping tone. When illuminated from behind, the head of Venus seems to glow from within, diffusing a golden light that enhances the delicacy of her features.

Art, matter, and eternal charm

In excellent overall condition, the sculpture measures 27 x 14 cm, with a 38 cm base. It is a rare piece, crafted entirely by hand with a precision that only the finest academic ateliers could guarantee.
The harmony of the proportions, the softness of the lines, and the transparency of the wax reveal the mastery of the sculptor, capable of transforming matter into a living work.

Thanks to its amber sheen and neoclassical character, this sculpture is perfect not only for collectors and art connoisseurs, but also for anyone wishing to enhance their space with an element of refined beauty.

An Emotion Worth Displaying

The amber-effect Head of Venus is more than a work of art: it is a luminous presence, capable of changing the atmosphere of a room with the simple play of light. Placed on a shelf, a pedestal, or next to a light source, it becomes a focal point of elegance and harmony.

Every detail—from the soft curves of the face to the transparency of the wax—tells a story of balance and classical perfection. For this reason, it represents an investment in taste and value destined to last over time. See less
