This is a stunning and beautifully fashioned old vintage antique-styled bust of Michelangelo's David, on an exquisite matching pedestal, with ornate decorative classical designs and moulded classical frieze scenes. It was made in Italy (c. mid-20th century), from chalkware, moulded around some form, which gives this impressive decorative item, the appearance of having been carved from marble, stone or alabaster.

While the bust of David is very impressive, and can be set independently of the pedestal; the same can be said for the pedestal, which in my opinion, is even more impressive, and could be used to display any special decorative item. The bust is in good condition, but does have some minor damage. There are some chips to the head, mainly to the curly hair, where small sections of curls have been chipped. There is also some damage & cracks to the back underside, and around the shoulders, which appear to have received some repairs (in the way of having the cracks, or other damage plastered over). These repairs are not overly visible, and appear to be only cosmetic. They do not detract from the general appearance of the bust, and only add character and age to it. The bust has the name "DAVID" inscribed below the chest. There are also some letters on the back, which appear to be "IT PAT" (which I believe is a contraction of Italy & Patent). The pedestal is in excellent condition. It looks very ornate and impressive, and there are no signs of damage, or repair. This is a seriously heavy item, so pick-up (in Sydney metro area) is the only option available; but interstate eBayers are welcome to organise collection by courieres, removalists & back loaders (which I think would be the most economical option available).

This is a rare opportunity to purchase such a beautiful piece of decorative sculptural & functional art, and to add it to your personal collection.
