Where should I place marble urns?

Smaller alabaster and marble versions suit interior side tables, mantelpieces and desks, while robust limestone and salt-glazed examples belong in gardens. Keep indoor stone objects away from direct heat sources to protect natural materials from drying and cracking over time.

How do I clean carved stone?

Dust surfaces gently with a dry, soft cloth to prevent the accumulation of grit within carved details and crevices. Avoid using water, chemical cleaners or abrasive agents on softer stones like alabaster and onyx, as moisture damages their porous structure.

Are these urns weather-resistant?

Pieces explicitly designated as garden planters or made from durable limestone and salt-glazed stoneware withstand outdoor conditions across seasons. Alabaster, onyx and delicate table lamps remain strictly for interior use because frost and moisture degrade their polished finishes.

What defines Neoclassical style?

Neoclassical design draws direct inspiration from the art and architecture of ancient Greece and Rome, emphasising symmetry, restraint and classical motifs. Items in this style typically feature clean architectural lines, urn profiles, acanthus leaves and classical pedestal bases.
