Her gown falls the full drop to pool in scrolled folds, and the plinth and wide base slab beneath are a different, darker stone from the figure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSeated Marble Angel on a Granite Plinth\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo stones in one piece means two different tools and two different speeds. The figure is white marble worked matte so the drapery holds its shadow, while the plinth and base are a grey-green granite that will not take the same fine undercut and is dressed to a broader finish instead. The roses at her waist are tinted, which means they are carved fully proud first and coloured only once the surrounding drapery is finished and will take no more work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a garden piece rather than a memorial and it suits a formal border, the turn of a gravel path, a walled courtyard or the end of a lawn vista. The granite plinth lifts the figure to standing eye level, so it reads from a distance and does not need planting round it. Set the base slab on a level bed and allow clear space on all sides for mowing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSiting a Two Stone Statue in a Garden\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwelve weeks. The granite plinth and base are cut and dressed first because they set the height the figure is carved to, and granite will not be altered once the marble is fitted to it. The marble figure follows, and the tinted roses are the very last operation on the piece. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops. Around 3,054kg across three pieces, so it needs mechanical handling and a level compacted bed rather than a foundation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMore figures of this kind are in \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/marble-sculptures\"\u003emarble sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and the outdoor pieces under \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/garden-statues\"\u003egarden statues\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e170cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHand-Carved Natural Marble\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53829364351323,"sku":"MST-MEM-021","price":23786.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/MST-MEM-021_1.jpg?v=1787130496","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/seated-angel-with-roses-marble-garden-statue-170cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
