Material & Manufacture process: Cast Marble

Cast Marble statues are made from a composite 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.

Our statue is a copy (in smaller scale) of the famous marble sculpture known as «The Dancer », by Antonio Canova, carved 1819-1823, which is exhibited in the National Gallery of Art, Washington,  DC, USA.  Reflecting the early 19th century’s obsession with classic antiquity and the female form, even a dancer sculpture becomes an almost ethereal Greek goddess at the hands of Italian Antonio Canova.

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.
