Plaster
of Paris has been used for many years as the material of choice for replicas
of classic statuary for its remarkably easy workability, marble-like aspect
and "feel". It is a great material for interior decoration and a high
quality replica of a classic piece can give a "touch" of nobility
and refinement to any environment. (be careful, though, plaster of Paris is
not for outdoors: it can't survive for long to the acid rain).
Florentine craftsmen have been
working for centuries with plaster and I can show you some truly outstanding
pieces. Others can be made on request
Michelangelo's David head. A stunningly beautiful replica from the original at the Academy Gallery in Firenze. Height cm. 120. And, yes, we can make for you a complete, original size (5 m. tall) David!
Head of Canova's Venus. A well known neo-classical piece made in 1813 in a rendition of excellent quality. Height cm 53
Male Torso. Classic Greek statuary from ca. 5th century b.c. Height cm 100.
