Marble Sculptures : Splendid Art on Marble
Immaculate Marble Sculptures with polished looks have intrigued generations of people with their refined beauty, sophistry and elegance. Timeless masterpieces of art the sculptures in marble stones radiate an air of aristocracy and luxury. Wonderful statues, idols, decorative pieces are sculpted from metamorphosed limestones that are popularly known as marbles.
The sculptures celebrate the greatness of mortal souls into tactile forms. Invaluable legacies of art the sculptures have great cultural and historical significance. They speak about the art, culture and heritage of the bygone era. These immortal artworks can inspire the young artists and connoisseurs of arts.
The sculptors engraved impressive structures from blocks of marble. Tools like chisels, hammers and hand drills helped them to sculpt their creations. Rubbing stones and sandpapers were used to smoothen the outer surface.
Coats of shiny polishes like tin oxides were applied to add luster and glow to the sculptures. Marbles were used extensively for figurative works for the ease of use, remarkable quarrying capacities and durability that increased with ages. The translucent surfaces enabled a uniform and in-dept realistic touch to the structures.
The practice of sculpting marble into exotic pieces of art came to India from the European countries. Marble sculpting was practiced in vogue in Italy, Rome, Paris, England from the late eighteenth century. Soudbinine, Bourdelle, Leon Fourquet, Rodin, Victor Peter and Jean Escoula are some world famous sculptors who had left some indelible pieces of marble arts that inspire awe and reverence.
The tradition of Marble sculptures in India began with the carvings of religious deities. Idols of Buddha, Lord Shiva, Lord Ganesha, Lakshmi Devi and Goddess Durga spellbind with their intricate engravings, meticulousness, clarity and precision.
Spectacular architectures and royal buildings were established from fine marbles. The Taj Mahal of Agra is a living example of marble architecture built during the Mughal era. Inspired by traditional as well as contemporary arts, the sculptures in marble are visual embodiments of aesthetic creativity and excellent craftsmanship of the regional artists. Other popular themes captured in the sculptures were female figurines with all their feminine charms and graces.
Figures of birds, animals and tribal people were also modeled from the marbles. Colored marbles in shades of pink, green, red, gray and white were used along with the pure white marbles. Today the marble sculptures have made entry into the domestic arena as decorative art pieces in the form of figurines, furniture, fireplaces, photo frames, vases, medallions, show pieces, tiles and garden sculptures. The breathtaking creations of marble make for elegant and stylish indoor and outdoor decorations and cherished gifts to the loved ones.

Antique Dutch Carved Oak Marble Top Dessert Buffet Server Used From: $3,455.00 |
|
This carved oak dessert buffet is an absolutely stunning piece that comes from Holland. The oak has been carved in almost every square inch of this very impressive server with various Dutch folk and floral decorations. The top is inlaid with a beautiful white and brown marble that has no breaks or cracks. Traditionally this piece would have gone in a dining room and been used to server smaller courses, such as dessert. (hence the name dessert buffet) Today it would make a fine and functional piece in a number of rooms including the dining room, foyer, and hallway. There are two drawers each with a brass drop pull and dovetailed joints. There is also a locking cabinet for additional storage. Most of the carvings of the Dutch folk appear in pairs ( a man and woman). The columns that hold the top shelf up, the center carvings, and the door carvings are all a man in one carving and a woman in the other leading us to believe this could have originally been commissioned as a wedding present. There is part of a sticker left on the back which we have included a picture of. Besides minor wear and a small age separation in the top shelf, this buffet is in excellent condition and very sturdy. We believe this piece to have been made around 1900. Beautiful carved pieces like this are quite rare so don't miss out! This server does break down into two pieces (back splash and cabinet) so moving it is easy.Dimensions: 48.5" wide x 19.25" deep x 75" high |
