FAQs

Alabaster has been utilised since ancient times for its fine grain and translucent quality, making it a favoured medium for detailed figurative carving across various European art movements.

These pieces are typically hand-carved from natural gypsum or calcite alabaster blocks using chisels, files, and abrasive stones to achieve smooth finishes and intricate anatomical detail.

Authentic pieces often exhibit natural mineral veining, subtle surface patina, tool marks consistent with period craftsmanship, and a degree of translucency when exposed to direct light.

Placing the sculpture on a clean-lined mantelpiece or architectural pedestal allows the natural texture and warm tones of the stone to serve as a focal point against minimalist surroundings.

Alabaster is porous and water-soluble; therefore, it should be dusted gently with a soft dry cloth and kept away from moisture and direct sunlight to prevent staining and surface degradation.
