Plaster Busts & Sculptures
Atelier Article’s plaster busts and sculptures are cast in real gypsum plaster — not resin or plastic. Roman emperors, Greek philosophers, animal figures and bookend pairs sized for a desk, mantel or bookshelf. Classic white isn’t compulsory: Menelaus comes in black, pink or aquamarine, and we can paint most pieces to a colour you send.

Each sculpture is cast and finished by hand in the workshop in Cherkasy, Ukraine, then wrapped in protective foam and double-wall cardboard for shipping. Small surface variations are part of the handmade finish, not defects. Exact dimensions, finish and care instructions are listed on each product page.
Frequently asked questions
Are these busts made from plaster or resin?
They are hand-cast in real, gypsum-based plaster — not resin or plastic. Each piece is demoulded and finished by hand in the Atelier Article workshop in Cherkasy, Ukraine. Natural plaster and hand-applied finishes can show small surface variations, so no two pieces are completely identical.
Which plaster bust should I choose?
For a classical desk, mantel or console, compare the Marcus Aurelius, David and Julius Caesar busts. For a working bookshelf, choose the Homer and Aristotle bookend pair. For a less formal interior, consider the Fox or Dog sculpture. Check each product page for exact dimensions and finish options.
Can I order a plaster bust in a custom colour?
Yes. Atelier Article can paint an existing sculpture in another colour or adapt its surface finish when technically feasible. We do not currently create a new sculptural form, portrait or mould to order. Contact the workshop before ordering with a RAL code, hex value or reference photo; feasibility, price and lead time are confirmed before purchase.
How should I care for a plaster sculpture?
Keep plaster sculptures indoors, away from moisture, edges and places where they may be knocked over. Remove dust with a dry, soft cloth and do not wash the surface with water. More practical maintenance guidance is available in the Atelier Article care guide.
How are plaster busts packed and shipped?
Each bust is packed individually with protective foam in double-wall cardboard and sent by tracked courier from Cherkasy, Ukraine. Standard pieces usually ship in 2–3 business days, with worldwide delivery typically taking 10–12 days. Delivery timing can vary by destination and customs processing.
