FAQs

Portrait busts originated in ancient Greece and Rome, where they were used to commemorate deities, emperors, and prominent citizens, later experiencing a major revival during the neoclassical and Victorian periods.

Sculptors historically utilised fine-grained materials such as Carrara marble, alabaster, and bronze, often carving them by hand using chisels, rasps, and abrasive powders for fine detailing.

Authenticity is assessed by examining tool marks, natural weathering, mineral inclusions, patina development, and the method of construction on the underside or mounting base.

Placing a stone sculpture on a mantelpiece, pedestal, or console table introduces a focal point that contrasts sharp modern lines with classical texture and form.

Alabaster is porous and water-soluble; it should be cleaned exclusively with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and kept away from moisture and direct sunlight to prevent staining and surface deterioration.
