Antique Robinson & Leadbeater Parian Bust of William Shakespeare Signed C.1885

Description: Antique Robinson & Leadbeater Parian Bust of William Shakespeare Signed c.1865-1885 Description: Step back in time with this exquisite antique Robinson & Leadbeater Parian bust of William Shakespeare, dating from the late 19th century, circa 1865-1885. A genuine estate piece, this bust captures the Bard’s likeness with remarkable detail and artistry. The name “Shakespeare” is elegantly carved on the front, and the maker’s mark is signed on the back, attesting to its authenticity. Robinson & Leadbeater were renowned for producing pieces of superb quality, working exclusively with Parian—a fine, semi-translucent marble originating from the Greek island of Paros. Known for its creamy, soft finish, Parian brings a lifelike warmth to this classic portrayal of Shakespeare, making it an ideal addition for any lover of literature or fine collectibles. Condition: This piece is in excellent antique condition, with only a few micro dots or “flea bites” noted around the surface—barely noticeable to the naked eye. There are no chips visible, maintaining the integrity and beauty of the bust. Please SEE and ZOOM in on all photos to assess the exact condition before purchase, as they are part of the description. A Note from Second Hand Sweethearts: At Second Hand Sweethearts, we love uncovering antique and collectible treasures at estate sales, auctions, and yard sales. Because of this, many of the items we sell are vintage and may show signs of normal wear from their journey through time. We encourage you to take a good look at the photos and read the full description before purchasing—remember, vintage means it’s not brand new or in mint condition. Most of these items are no longer being manufactured or sold in stores, so they carry with them years of history, and sometimes a little dust from storage. We do our best to leave items in the condition we find them to preserve their charm and avoid damaging any finishes. Some may need a bit more cleaning, but we leave that up to you! All items are sold “as found.” We’re dedicated to describing everything as accurately and honestly as possible, highlighting any wear, damage, or imperfections we notice. Our photos are part of the description, so please inspect them closely and feel free to ask any questions before making a purchase. We’re not experts, but we love what we do and will always give you the clearest view of each item. Shipping: To keep shipping costs down, we use recycled packaging materials whenever possible. If you purchase multiple items, we’re happy to combine shipping—just wait for an updated invoice before paying. We know shipping can be expensive, especially if you’re on the East Coast, so if the shipping calculator seems off, send us your zip code for a more accurate quote. We’ll do what we can to help! Payment: We kindly ask for payment within 3 days of purchase. If you need more time, just reach out to us—we’re happy to work with you. If we don’t hear from you within that time, we’ll have to file an unpaid item case with eBay to recoup our fees. Feedback: Positive feedback is so important to small sellers like us! We do our very best to provide you with great service, from describing our items to shipping them out quickly. If you have any concerns or feel something wasn’t quite right, please reach out before leaving neutral or negative feedback. We’re always willing to resolve any issues directly. Once we know you’ve received your item and are happy with it, we’ll leave feedback for you as well. At Second Hand Sweethearts, we want you to buy with confidence, knowing that we stand behind every listing. If we’ve made a mistake, we’ll gladly make it right.
