• Our white marble vase with centaurs is a reproduction of a 50 BC original found cut half and without base. Instead of the usual bacchic scenery, the reliefs of this marble vase are depicting a fight with centaurs, probably featuring the famous battle of Lapiths and Centaurs of the Greek mythology. The relief shows the fight that took place due to the drunken centaurs, unused to wine, during the wedding of Pirithous. This mythological battle became a symbol of the interior struggle between civilized and wild behavior, made concrete in the Lapiths' understanding of the right usage of god-given wine, which must be mixed with water and drunk not in excess. The Greek sculptors of the school of Pheidias conceived this battle of the Lapiths and Centaurs as a struggle between mankind and mischievous monsters, a symbol of the great conflict between the civilized Greeks and the barbarians.

  UNMATCHED CRAFTSMANSHIP AND QUALITY

  Crafted from over 90% natural white marble and architectural resin, our statues offer the look and feel of authentic marble at a fraction of the weight. The chiselled surface texture, created through layered casting using advanced roto-casting technology, adds an artisanal touch that sets our sculptures apart. Each piece is meticulously hand-finished by skilled artisans, ensuring a unique and high-quality finish.

  ELEVATE YOUR SPACE

  Whether placed indoors or outdoors, our statues serve as stunning focal points that elevate the aesthetic of any environment. The pure white finish exudes purity and sophistication, while the optional aged beige patina adds a touch of historical charm. With structural reinforcement as needed and weather-resistant properties, these statues are both beautiful and durable.

  ABOUT THE MATERIAL AND CRAFTSMANSHIP

  Our large-size sculptures are crafted using a unique and proprietary dry casting process. Composed of over 90% natural white marble mixed with architectural resin, these statues achieve the authentic look and feel of natural marble. The sculptures feature a chiselled surface texture resembling soft bush-hammered stone, created through layered casting using advanced roto-casting technology. This method ensures a strong yet hollow structure, reducing cost and weight while maintaining durability.

  Each statue is meticulously hand-finished and patinated, with an optional aged beige patina available to add an antique touch. Structural reinforcement, such as PU foam core, sand, or metal, is incorporated as needed to ensure stability. Weather-resistant, these sculptures are designed to withstand the elements and retain their beauty in both indoor and outdoor environments.

  DECISION BETWEEN PURE WHITE AND AGED PATINA

  For indoor settings, we recommend the pure white finish for its brightness. For outdoor installations, the aged beige patina is recommended if it complements the building's architecture, while pure white remains a versatile choice for most settings. The intensity of the patina can also be chosen, with light beige being the default option. Please note that while the patina can always be added afterwards, the pure white finish cannot be restored once the patina is applied. Most of our customers choose the pure white version.

  INDOOR & OUTDOOR INSTALLATION

  Our life-size statues are expertly balanced on their bases to stand securely both indoors and outdoors. For added stability, the base can be secured using various methods, including resin glue, cementitious glue, or mechanical means such as iron bars or hooks.

  MAINTENANCE

  To maintain the best appearance of your outdoor statue, apply wax or polyurethane spray once a year. During cold winters, avoid ice accumulation in crevices by salting or covering them. In winter, most outdoor statues need protection against freezing, especially around the crevices where water gets trapped and expands, forming ice. The safest option is to cover the statue completely, as is done with public statues outdoors.

  Invest in a piece of history and artistry. Choose our statues to transform your space into a testament to timeless elegance and luxurious taste.
