FAQs

Plaster casts of classical sculptures were widely used from the Renaissance onwards in art academies to teach students proportions, volume, and shading by drawing from three-dimensional forms.

These pieces were typically cast using plaster of Paris poured into moulds taken from original sculptures or clay models, often finished with patination, wax, or varnish to simulate stone, terracotta, or bronze.

Authentic pieces usually exhibit natural wear, historical patination, minor losses, structural ageing of the plaster, and sometimes old maker marks or collection stamps on the base.

Plaster sculptures add classical texture and gravitas when displayed on bookshelves, sideboards, or mantelpieces, contrasting effectively against minimalist or modern architectural backdrops.

Plaster is porous and sensitive to moisture; items should be kept in stable humidity conditions and cleaned gently with a dry, soft brush to avoid damaging the historical surface.
