Belvedere Torso Statue - Antique Stone

Belvedere Torso Statue - Antique Stone | Online8 New Zealand

A classical male torso in the tradition of the Belvedere marbles, cast in magnesia and glass fibre with an aged antique-stone finish. The figure is deliberately fragmentary — no head, no arms, drapery gathered across one hip — with grey weathering worked into the off-white surface so it reads as excavated rather than new. At 580mm tall on a 350mm square footprint, it works as a statement piece indoors or in the garden.

Why It Stands Apart

• Weatherproof Construction: The magnesia and glass fibre composite is built for full outdoor exposure, so it can live on a terrace, in a courtyard or among planting year-round.
• Hand-Aged Stone Finish: Grey weathering and patina worked into the off-white surface, giving the look of a marble that has stood outside for decades.
• Classical Fragment Form: Headless and armless with gathered drapery — the incompleteness is the point, and it is what makes an antique cast read as authentic.
• Real Scale: At 580mm high it functions as a focal point rather than a shelf ornament, holding a console, plinth, hallway or garden bed.
• Lighter Than Stone: The composite gives the mass and surface of carved stone at a weight two people can position without equipment.
• Indoors Or Out: Equally at home on a console, in an entryway, or set among greenery in a garden.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can it be left outside all year?
Yes. The magnesia and glass fibre composite is weatherproof and intended for outdoor use. For the longest life, stand it on a free-draining surface rather than in standing water.

Why does it have no head or arms?
That is the design. It follows the classical Belvedere torso — a deliberately fragmentary antique form, which is why the piece reads as an excavated marble rather than a modern figure.

How heavy is it?
Substantial, but far lighter than solid stone at the same size. Two people can position it comfortably without lifting equipment.

Is each one identical?
Close, but not exactly. The antique weathering is applied by hand, so the depth and placement of the grey patina varies between pieces.

How do I care for it?
Hose or wipe down as needed. Avoid pressure washing and abrasive cleaners, which can lift the aged finish.

Do you ship nationwide?
Yes, we ship nationwide. Shipping options are available at checkout.
