How do I clean stone figures?

Interior alabaster and marble figures require only a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Moisture should be avoided on softer stones. Garden stone and terracotta pieces tolerate gentle washing with water and a soft brush. Harsh chemical cleaners damage the surface patina.

Can these figures stay outdoors?

Reconstituted stone, terracotta, and concrete pieces are designed for garden use and withstand outdoor conditions. They develop a pleasing weathered look over time. Alabaster, soapstone, and marble carvings belong indoors. Frost and dampness will crack and dissolve these softer materials.

What is a Grand Tour souvenir?

Grand Tour souvenirs are small scale replicas of classical sculptures purchased by travellers in Italy during the nineteenth century. They allowed collectors to bring classical antiquity home. These pieces were carved from local stones like alabaster, serpentine, and marble, often mounted on black marble bases.

Are bookends heavy enough for heavy books?

Stone bookends made from marble, serpentine, or alabaster possess natural weight and density. This mass supports heavy volumes without tipping. Matched pairs ensure balance on shelf edges. Their decorative forms double as small sculptures.
