Venus of Arles

1.500,00 €

An emblem of classical refinement, this sculptural bust represents Venus — goddess of beauty and desire — inspired by the celebrated Tête d’Arles, a Roman marble sculpture housed in the Musée de l’Arles et de la Provence Antique. With origins rooted in imperial Rome, the piece reinterprets the Greek ideal of Aphrodite with a sense of poised sensuality and serene majesty.

Recreated in aged-effect plaster, the bust reveals an extraordinary delicacy in form and expression: from the softly contoured features to the intricately braided hair crowned with laurels, every detail evokes the divine elegance of its ancient muse. The light patina across the surface lends it a time-worn character, enhancing the authenticity and visual warmth of the composition.

Elevated on a handcrafted base made of powder-coated steel and fully upholstered in fine leather with contrasting stitching, the bust blends sculptural heritage with contemporary craftsmanship. This juxtaposition of materials anchors the piece in modern interiors without losing its mythological gravitas.

More than a decorative accent, the Venus of Arles bust is a symbol of eternal beauty — a refined expression of art, mythology, and timeless femininity.

Handmade in Italy.

To preserve the beauty of the leather finish, avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners. Clean leather surfaces only with a soft cloth slightly dampened with mild soap and water. Gently dry after cleaning. Any natural variations in tone or markings are distinctive features of the material, which will develop a unique patina over time.
