The appeal is in the finish: a genuine stucco surface that shifts under changing light through the day, reading as dry stone in the morning and considerably warmer under lamplight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAvailable Heights\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12 in. and 14 in. — shelf, niche or desk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e23 in. and 31 in. — console table or entryway\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e39 in. and 47 in. — freestanding floor display or gallery setting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eConstruction and Finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCore:\u003c\/strong\u003e High-density, warp-resistant MDF for structural stability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSurface:\u003c\/strong\u003e Authentic Italian textured plaster (stucco) in earthy, organic tones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCharacter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Matte, tactile, stone-like\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Freestanding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy a Plaster Surface Over a Stable Core\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA solid stone or fired ceramic figure of this height would be enormously heavy, fragile at the ankles and impractical to ship. Building the form on a dimensionally stable engineered core and finishing it in real Italian plaster gives the same tactile, mineral surface without those problems — the sculpture can be lifted by one person, and the core will not warp with seasonal humidity the way a solid timber figure of this shape might.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAncient Reference, Modern Placement\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe subject is drawn from classical funerary statuary, but the treatment is pared back — the detail is suggested rather than reproduced. That is what allows the piece to sit in a minimalist or wabi-sabi interior instead of reading as a museum replica. It works particularly well in an entryway, where its verticality and matte surface give a hard-edged space something to soften against.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBespoke Versions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlternative poses, custom color palettes and different plaster finishes can be developed.
