In the case that you mention, the solution would be to add some offset 
when translating :

#declare Offset = Artistic_Adjustment_Value;

#declare Centre = (max_extent(Object) + min_extent(Object) ) / 2;
//This will find the opposing corners of the bounding box, then find 
//their average. That average value is the centre of your object.

#declare Object = object{Object translate -Centre+Offset rotate 
Some_Rotation translate Centre-Offset}
// This translate your object by minus the found value adjusted by
// the artistic offset, apply your rotation, then translate your
// object back to it's original location.
