BARBADOS BUST

Jean-Charles Chappuis, our maestro of accessories sourcing, adores the Barbados Bust inspired by plaster of Paris sculpture that was in vogue during the 1940s. This Pirate is created when a rough bust is molded in raw porcelain. Then an artist with a knife adds texture to the skin of the sculpture, carves the eyes, and gives the profile its emotional demeanor. All of this is then given a plaster of Paris finish and baked.
