A finely executed 19th-century Grand Tour bust, carved from lime (linden) wood, depicting a bearded classical male figure crowned with a laurel wreath, symbolising honour and victory. The detailed carving captures the textured hair, defined facial features, and elegantly draped garment with skill and precision. Retaining a rich, warm patina, this Continental piece reflects the neoclassical taste of educated travellers during the Grand Tour era. A distinguished and evocative decorative work, offered by Hutton-Clarke Antiques. Standing on a faux marble base.
