ARTWORK WITH NATURAL AURA
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.
Many of our customers come to us after experiencing resin alternatives. Choosing this piece is often a natural next step¡ªan upgrade in material, feel, and presence for those looking to surround themselves with lasting beauty.
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
The French Sphinx statue, set on a larger base.
Finished in basalt black, and set on a Basalt black base.
In European decorative art, the sphinx enjoyed a major revival during the Renaissance.
Later, the sphinx`s image, something very similar to the original ancient Egyptian concept, was exported into many other cultures, albeit often interpreted quite differently due to translations of descriptions of the originals and the evolution of the concept in relation to other cultural traditions, along with the artistic and decorative imagination of artists.
The revived Mannerist sphinx of c1520 is sometimes thought of as the French Sphinx, with her coiffed head erect, with the breasts of a young woman, often she wears ear drops of pearls as ornaments, and her body is naturalistically rendered as a recumbent lioness.
The first appearances of sphinxes in French art are in the school of Fontainebleau in the 1520s and 1530s, and she continues into the late Baroque style of the French regence (1715¨C1723).
From France, she spread throughout Europe, becoming a regular feature of the outdoors decorative sculpture of 18th-century palace gardens.
A fine pair of French sphinx's are used to decorate the front wall pediments of Chatsworth House.
(NOTE - If a pair is required you will need to add this item twice to cart).
SMOOTH GLOSSY BLACK COATING
Each piece is meticulously finished with a sleek, glossy black coating for a smooth and refined appearance. At its core, the sculpture is crafted from our premium Carrara marble cast, ensuring a solid, weighty feel.
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¡ªa 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.
