Vintage Original Starburst Sculpture by Tony Duquette

This exceptional original starburst sculpture by Tony Duquette exemplifies the designer’s legendary ability to transform metal into theatrical, light-driven works of art. Executed in gold-painted metal, the densely radiating rods create a dynamic, multi-directional composition that shifts in character as light moves across its surface.

Our example features a distinctive standing form with a sculptural circular base pierced by three apertures, lending both visual balance and architectural presence. At the center, the layered welded construction and circular ring detail highlight Duquette’s hand-crafted approach and his fascination with ornament, symbolism, and celestial motifs.

Rooted in the Hollywood Regency aesthetic and dating to the 1960s, this sculpture reflects Duquette’s celebrated fusion of fantasy, modernism, and old-world glamour. The piece functions equally as fine art and decorative sculpture, commanding attention whether placed in a grand entry, living space, or curated gallery environment.

Offered in excellent vintage condition, this is a rare and highly collectible example of Duquette’s sculptural work—ideal for collectors, designers, and connoisseurs seeking an authentic statement piece with strong provenance and enduring visual impact.
