Material & Manufacture process: Cast Marble

Cast Marble statues are made from a  material in which natural crushed Greek Marble stone is mixed with a small quantity of resin that works as a glue.  The mixture is then poured into a mold of the statue design. Because the powder is so fine the smallest details can be reproduced using this method. Over 90% of the finished sculpture is natural crushed Greek Marble stone, which gives it a look and feel of solid natural marble. All sculptures are finished by hand to ensure the finest quality. This strong material is water and weather resistant, doesn't have bubbles, will not crack, and can be washed with most cleaning agents.

Please note: Our statues are not carved. Natural marble statues are hand carved and command  a very hefty price. Our product offerings are intended to be affordable to the majority public .

This statue is based on the original full-size statue «Apollo of the Belvedere». Apollo of the Belvedere  is a celebrated marble sculpture from Classical Antiquity. It was rediscovered in central Italy in the late 15th century, during the Renaissance. From the mid-18th century it was considered the greatest ancient sculpture by ardent neoclassicists, and for centuries epitomized ideals of aesthetic perfection for Europeans and westernized parts of the world. It is now found in the Gabinetto delle Maschere of the Pio-Clementine Museum of the Vatican Museums complex.
