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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy It Stands Apart\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeatherproof Construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHand-Aged Stone Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Grey weathering and patina worked into the off-white surface, giving the look of a marble that has stood outside for decades.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClassical Fragment Form:\u003c\/strong\u003e Headless and armless with gathered drapery — the incompleteness is the point, and it is what makes an antique cast read as authentic.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReal Scale:\u003c\/strong\u003e At 580mm high it functions as a focal point rather than a shelf ornament, holding a console, plinth, hallway or garden bed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLighter Than Stone:\u003c\/strong\u003e The composite gives the mass and surface of carved stone at a weight two people can position without equipment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndoors Or Out:\u003c\/strong\u003e Equally at home on a console, in an entryway, or set among greenery in a garden.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColour\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAntique Stone \/ Aged White\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e60% Magnesium, 40% Glass Fibre\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize (W×D×H)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e350 × 350 × 580 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuitability\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIndoor and outdoor — weatherproof\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClassical \/ Antique\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAssembly\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNone — arrives ready to display\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it be left outside all year?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy does it have no head or arms?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThat 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow heavy is it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nSubstantial, but far lighter than solid stone at the same size. Two people can position it comfortably without lifting equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs each one identical?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nClose, but not exactly. The antique weathering is applied by hand, so the depth and placement of the grey patina varies between pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I care for it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nHose or wipe down as needed.
