Modeling classical Greco-Roman archetypes—a male figure reminiscent of Michelangelo’s David and a serene female companion—these sculptures are defined by their exuberant faux-marble glaze. The swirling, high-gloss application of black and charcoal grey veins against a white ground creates a mesmerizing, monochromatic abstract pattern that updates traditional forms for a contemporary aesthetic. This juxtaposition of ancient silhouette and bold, graphic finish makes them a quintessential example of the Hollywood Regency revival era.

Perfectly sized for a curated vignette, the male bust measures 6.25 inches wide, 3 inches deep, and 9 inches tall, while the female measures 5.75 inches wide, 4 inches deep, and 9 inches tall. They are ideal for flanking a mantel clock, adding intellectual gravity to a bookshelf, or styling atop a lucite console for a chic, high-contrast look. Both pieces are in great vintage condition, retaining their glossy luster with minor surface scuffs consistent with age and history.
