Reconstituted marble statuary is a “replica” of an original work and is produced by modern technological advances in polymers and resin. These are mixed with crushed white carrara dust to make a paste. This paste is then poured into a master mold for a particular statue already created from an original.
The mold is then left to dry, then gone over by hand to smooth out seam marks or any imperfection in the statue. The finished product is a high-quality statue with fine detail and great tolerance against weathering. The next aspect to consider is final placement of the statue.
If the statue is to be outside in a colder climate one should strongly consider the reconstituted white statuary.
