Vintage “The Sleeping Angel” sculpture

A study in stillness, form, and quiet decadence.

 

This rare vintage piece features a reclining nude figure, cast in darkened tones and draped effortlessly across a soft, organic base. The sculpting captures a sense of weight and ease—limbs relaxed, expression distant—as if suspended between rest and reverie.

 

There is something deeply cinematic about it. Intimate, but not fragile. Decorative, yet unmistakably bold.

 

Pieces like this were never purely functional—they existed as conversation objects, placed on vanities and dressing tables as reflections of taste, sensuality, and artistic influence.

 

The contrast between the smooth, pale base and the darker figure creates a striking visual tension, drawing the eye naturally across the form.

 

Details:

• Vintage cast composition (likely chalkware/plaster blend)

• Hand-finished tonal detailing

• Sculptural reclining figure design

• Substantial presence despite delicate appearance

 

Condition (Please Read):

This piece shows minor vintage wear, including small chips and surface imperfections consistent with age. These flaws are visible in photos and do not detract from its overall presence—instead, they reinforce its authenticity and history.
