Esquiline Venus Life-size Statue (Large)

Our Esquiline Venus Life-size Statue (Large) is a reproduction masterpiece of the original white marble sculpture that was made in the midst of 1st century A.C. and can be seen in the building 'Centrale Montemartini', that belongs to the Capitoline Museums (Rome). It comes from the Lamianos gardens in the Esquiline hill and was discovered in 1874.

INDOOR & OUTDOOR INSTALLATION

Our life-size statues are balanced on the base in order to stand alone safely outdoors & indoors. If extra safety is required, the base can be fixed with a variety of methods resin glue, cementitious glue, or mechanical means such as iron bars or hooks. For indoor, we recommend pure white color as it is the most lightful. For outdoor we recommend aging patina only if the architecture of the building matches with beige tones. Pure white color is fitting in the majority of the cases.

In order to keep an outdoor statue with the best look possible, wax or polyurethane spray can be applied once a year. During cold winters, the accumulation of ice in the crevices needs to be avoided. Crevises should be salted to deter the ice from expanding or simply be covered.


ABOUT THE MATERIAL

Our large size sculptures are produced by a unique and proprietary dry casting process. Over 90% of the finished sculpture is natural marble which gives it a look and feel of natural marble. The sculpture is not completely solid in order to reduce cost and weight, with a strong solid thickness suitable for indoor and outdoor. They are finished and patinated by hand.
