Many resin sculptures, especially lower-quality alternatives, can become yellowish, faded, or discolored over time when exposed to sunlight or UV light. Our premium marble cast material is designed to remain visually stable, helping the sculpture preserve its refined white marble appearance for years to come. This is one of the reasons why marble cast sculptures are more expensive than resin—but also why they offer better long-term value.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1551\/9675\/files\/Veiled-lady-SCAN4401076-12ace421-5903-469e-8707-4ac430eb6ecb.__CR0_0_1940_600_PT0_SX970_V1.jpg?v=1683545128\" width=\"100%\"\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1551\/9675\/files\/Veiled-lady-SCAN4401076-b1ad1be7-838f-4f27-910c-de96098c4bbe.__CR0_0_1940_600_PT0_SX970_V1.jpg?v=1683545128\" width=\"100%\"\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1551\/9675\/files\/Veiled-lady-SCAN4401076-ab834706-168a-4262-8216-47e924d6894a.__CR0_0_1940_600_PT0_SX970_V1.jpg?v=1683545128\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAdditionally, our premium cast contains crystalline sparkling particles, enhancing its natural luster and making it even closer in appearance to real stone—because it nearly is.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1551\/9675\/files\/materialcloseup-sas02.jpg?v=1739965579\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn a world where shortcuts and mass production have become the norm, investing in a sculpture crafted with integrity and tradition is more than just a purchase—it’s a statement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOur sculptures are the result of meticulous craftsmanship, bringing your interior depth, character, and soul. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith their timeless elegance and superior quality, they stand as authentic works of art, meant to be admired for generations.\u003c!-- split --\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1551\/9675\/files\/output-onlinepngtools.png?v=1720861214\" height=\"12px\"\u003e Premium white Carrara marble cast — a refined alternative to resin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1551\/9675\/files\/output-onlinepngtools.png?v=1720861214\" height=\"12px\"\u003e Hand-finished surface revealing natural marble particles\u003cbr\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1551\/9675\/files\/output-onlinepngtools.png?v=1720861214\" height=\"12px\"\u003e High marble content (approx. 90%) for a cool, stone-like feel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1551\/9675\/files\/output-onlinepngtools.png?v=1720861214\" height=\"12px\"\u003e Pure white tone with a subtle, neutral patina\u003cbr\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1551\/9675\/files\/output-onlinepngtools.png?v=1720861214\" height=\"12px\"\u003e Timeless artistic quality, designed to elevate any interior\u003cbr\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1551\/9675\/files\/output-onlinepngtools.png?v=1720861214\" height=\"12px\"\u003e Weight reduction with PU foam core\u003c!-- split --\u003eHeight: \u003cspan style=\"display: none;\" class=\"geotargetlygeocontent1630916007191_content_2 geotargetlygeocontent1630916007191_content_4 geotargetlygeocontent1630916007191_default\"\u003e58 cm \/ \u003c\/span\u003e22.6\"\u003cbr\u003eWidth: \u003cspan style=\"display: none;\" class=\"geotargetlygeocontent1630916007191_content_2 geotargetlygeocontent1630916007191_content_4 geotargetlygeocontent1630916007191_default\"\u003e33 cm \/ \u003c\/span\u003e12.9\"\u003cbr\u003eDepth: \u003cspan style=\"display: none;\" class=\"geotargetlygeocontent1630916007191_content_2 geotargetlygeocontent1630916007191_content_4 geotargetlygeocontent1630916007191_default\"\u003e20 cm \/ \u003c\/span\u003e7.8\"\u003cbr\u003eWeight: \u003cspan style=\"display: none;\" class=\"geotargetlygeocontent1630916007191_content_2 geotargetlygeocontent1630916007191_content_4 geotargetlygeocontent1630916007191_default\"\u003e18 kg \/ \u003c\/span\u003e39.6lbs\u003c!-- split --\u003eEurope\u003c!-- split --\u003e1\u003c!-- split --\u003eSCRO4401039\u003c!-- split --\u003eIN STOCK - Shipping within 7 days\u003c!-- split --\u003e\u003c!-- split --\u003e\u003cspan style=\"display: none;\" class=\"geotargetlygeocontent1630916007191_content_2 geotargetlygeocontent1630916007191_content_4 geotargetlygeocontent1630916007191_default\"\u003e58 cm \/ \u003c\/span\u003e22.6\"","brand":"The Ancient Home","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39672904482929,"sku":"SCRO4401039","price":1125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1551\/9675\/products\/005-SCRO4401039-venus-bust-sculpture-goddess-of-love-large_1024x1024_54c855c1-20d4-4677-aa0b-3e9938a2723c.jpg?v=1770809739","url":"https:\/\/thetheancienthomesnap.com\/products\/venus-bust-sculpture-goddess-of-love-large","provider":"The Ancient Home","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
