How to Choose a Finish
By far our most popular statuary finishes are the antique stone and white moss. Following is a list of finishes that certain types of statues seem to suit best.
For example the Venus statues, such as the Bathers, and the famous David statue work best in our antique stone or white moss finishes. These
classic statues were originally carved in white marble and tend to seem out of place and lose their elegance if done in other finishes. The
following is a generalized suggestion list only because as with any home decor project, everybody’s taste differs. Other factors are the location
and the backdrop surrounding the statue. For example, a piece that is white in color would wash out against a white wall
or backdrop. It is best to have some contrast with the piece and its surroundings. These are pieces of art and you
want them to stand out. As always, if you need additional help, please don’t hesitate

Earthen Tones

This would include Earth Tone and Autumn Rose. These finishes do well on artifacts such as pottery, urns and vases. It gives the look and feel
that the piece has been buried and dug up after a long time of being in the ground.

Mineralized Stone

These finishes include Deep Sea, Rust and Verde. These finishes do well on outdoor statuary such as animals, figurines and water fountains. These finishes
give the appearance of minerals working their way out of the stone and give the piece a sophisticated look.

Old Stone
|
These finishes include Gothic Stone, Sandstone, and Pompeii. These finishes do well on Gothic statuary and statuary of
antiquity as these types of sculptures were carved long ago out of stand stone or limestone.

Metals
|
These finishes include Iron, Bronze, Green Bronze, and Copper finishes. These finishes look particularly well on indoor statuary such as busts, animal statues, vases and urns.
The metal finish represents a metal casting rather than a piece that was sculpted by an artisan. These pieces are usually smaller and are not life size.

Soot
|
The Soot finish gives a sculpture the look that the piece has a history. A prominent piece that has survived a fire perhaps? If only it could talk! The
finish does well on architectural elements such as finials, wall friezes, pedestals and statuary.
