Frequently Asked Questions on the Life Size Statues

1. Are the items you advertise on your site genuine antique pieces ?

No. All the statues on our web site are museum reproductions of the original antique masterpieces. The original pieces can be found in museums and archaelogical sites, not only in Greece but all over the world.

2. What do you mean by "museum reproductions" ?

The statues are handmade in Greece by expert artisans under the supervision of the Archaeological Receipts Fund of the Greek Ministry of Culture. All the life size statues are accompanied by a numbered certificate of authenticity issued by the Greek State, which guarantees that they are exact replicas of antique museum artworks.

3. What are the life size statues made of ?

There are mainly two categories of statues based on the material they are made of :

3.1. The statues that seem "white" in the pictures (like Heracles, Athena, Atlas, etc.) are made of fine white alabaster and can be coated - upon request - with a special marble or bronze patina so as to seem as if made of these materials.

3.2. The other life size statues (like Venus of Milo, Poseidon, Hermes of Praxiteles, etc.) are made of top quality fibre reinforced plaster of Paris and are coated with a special archaic patina finishing which resembles the aged appearance of the original statues (marble, clay, bronze, etc.).

4. Are the statues appropriate for outdoor use, particularly in wet conditions ?

Only the alabaster statues are appropriate for outdoor use, also in wet conditions, freezing temperatures, heat, wind etc. As long of course as there is a minimum care as a stable solid ground to stand on and regular cleaning with a soft cloth. Of course they must not be put under or near objects that can fall on them and may cause damage.

5. What is the shipping cost for a LIFE SIZE statue ?

This varies depending on the individual statue's dimensions and weight. In any case you should calculate a minimum shipping cost of $800 for U.S. destinations (delivery to your door). All the statues are packed in special wooden containers and are insured during transit. They are accompanied by an export permit from the Greek Ministry of Culture, which certificates that they are modern reproductions and not original antique works of art (to avoid misunderstandings at the Customs).

6. I am looking for something specific that I didn't find on your site. What can I do ?
