FAQs

Alabaster sculptures are carved from a soft, fine-grained mineral form of gypsum or calcite, recognised for its translucent, marble-like qualities and smooth finish. Historically popular across Europe in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, these items typically depict classical figures or portraiture.

Artisans shape soft alabaster using specialized hand chisels, rasps, and gouges before sanding the material smooth. The surface is subsequently hand-polished with abrasives and waxes to accentuate the natural veining and light-transmitting properties of the stone.

Genuine alabaster displays natural color variation, subtle internal veining, and a cool, soft tactile surface. Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-carved detail in the hair and drapery, accompanied by gentle surface wear consistent with age along the base and edges.

A carved stone bust provides architectural focus when displayed on a dark wooden sideboard, mantelpiece, or inside an open library shelf. Positioned against contemporary minimalist furniture, the sculpture adds historical contrast and textural depth.

Dust the carving gently using a clean, dry, soft-bristled brush or microfiber cloth. Keep the stone away from water and liquid cleaners, as alabaster is porous and slightly water-soluble, making it susceptible to surface damage and staining.
