  Made in Europe from marble-rich material, this sculpture is produced in series and hand-finished. Unlike resin, which can feel synthetic and lifeless, this piece radiates natural substance and soul.

  HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
  
  Lansdowne Antinous (as Dionysus) Bust Sculpture. The bust was inspired by the Antinous bust of Hadrian's villa (c. 130-138 AD) displayed now in the Fitzwilliam museum in Cambridge, England.
  This bust is after the antique recreated by Leone Clerici, Italy,1882.
  Clerici specialised in reproducing famous antique sculptures, working from his studio in Rome, and his work was in great demand.
  
  
  PREMIUM MARBLE CAST
  
  Our sculptures are produced using a unique and proprietary dry casting process. Crafted with white Carrara marble, over 90% of each finished sculpture is composed of natural marble, giving it the authentic look and feel of genuine marble.
  
  Casting with such a high marble content requires significantly more finishing work and makes large-scale mass production impossible—a key difference from resin alternatives. Around 80% of the process is dedicated to hand-finishing the surface. This intensive hand-finishing is essential to bring out the stone particles and enhance the natural stone feel. Each piece is meticulously completed by our skilled artisans, guaranteeing the highest level of craftsmanship and quality.
  
  Owning one of our Premium White Carrara Marble Cast sculptures is like possessing a genuine piece of European craftsmanship, embodying a tradition of excellence and artistry. Unlike mass-produced alternatives, our sculptures are meticulously hand-finished, ensuring each piece is a unique and superior work of art.
