A Doorstop Sculpture’s Million-Dollar Future

A remarkable transformation is set to take place at an upcoming auction where a marble bust, initially purchased for just $6, might sell for over $3 million. Created by the esteemed French sculptor Edmé Bouchardon in 1728, this artwork was unexpectedly found being used as a doorstop in a shed in 1998. Its humble role belied its illustrious past; the bust had once graced prominent venues such as The Louvre in Paris and The Getty Museum in Los Angeles. Rediscovered by chance, the sculpture’s true value came to light, illustrating a fascinating journey from an overlooked object to a prized collectible. The upcoming auction aims to give this piece a new chapter, celebrating its rich history and exceptional craftsmanship, offering auction-goers the chance to own a slice of art history that was nearly lost to time.
