FAQs

The Diana of Gabii is a celebrated classical representation of the goddess Artemis, traditionally attributed to the ancient Greek sculptor Praxiteles, depicting her fastening her chiton.

These pieces were typically crafted using the lost-wax casting method (cire perdue) or sand-casting, utilizing high-grade copper and tin alloy compositions finished with various patinations.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit crisp chisel work, naturalistic patination showing age-appropriate wear, heavy weight, and often foundry marks or artist signatures inscribed on the base.

Position the piece as a focal point on a sturdy pedestal, console table, or mantelpiece where its sculptural lines and patinated surface contrast against minimalist or dark, moody backgrounds.

Dust gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and occasionally apply a very light coat of microcrystalline wax to protect the patina from atmospheric moisture and handling oils.
