20th Century Academic Wax Sculpture – Head Of Venus Amber Effect

Created in the early 20th century, this French academic wax sculpture depicting the head of Venus is a sublime example of grace and refinement. Originating from the storage rooms of a French academic school, it stands as an authentic testimony to classical training that shaped generations of European sculptors.

The amber effect, achieved through a meticulous wax modelling process, gives the piece a unique luminosity and a warm, enveloping tone. When illuminated from behind, the head of Venus appears to glow from within, radiating a golden light that highlights the softness of her features.

In excellent overall condition, the sculpture measures 27x14 cm with a base of 38 cm. Entirely handcrafted, it demonstrates the precision and mastery typical of early 20th-century academic workshops.
The harmony of proportions, the softness of the contours, and the transparency of the wax reveal the artist’s technical and aesthetic excellence.

Thanks to its amber sheen and neoclassical style, this sculpture is ideal for art collectors as well as those wishing to enrich their interiors with a refined decorative element.

The Venus amber-effect head is more than just a work of art – it is a luminous presence, capable of transforming any space through the play of light. Displayed on a shelf, pedestal, or near a light source, it becomes a focal point of grace and harmony.

Every detail – from the soft curves of the face to the translucent texture of the wax – reflects a sense of balance and timeless classical beauty. It is therefore a lasting investment in taste and artistry.
