This fantastic huge and heavy Austin Durastone sculpture has been fully restored and has no chips, cracks or damage of any kind. It's incredibly rare, from my research, De César only worked for Austin one year and not only can I not find another piece like this one, I can not find much information on him. The design and details are exquisite.

Sculpture has been painted with a glossy hammered metallic pewter deep pigmented acrylic paint and finished with a heavy lacquer top coat with new felt added to the base. Durastone is a special formulation of crushed stone mixed in a slurry, hand-cast and hand-finished.

I have been working on a passion project that involves purchasing sculptures from various sources and with varying degrees of damage. It has been a labor of love with countless hours and loads of hard work. My goal is to restore these pieces back to their original grandeur, sometimes with an updated color palate when appropriate. I hope to not only keep another artist’s masterpiece living on for a few more decades, but to introduce the next generation to sculptures as home décor that may otherwise end up in our landfills.

Sculptures are not just art; they are three-dimensional stories that invoke many feelings and memories. Thank you for looking at my collection of restored treasures and I hope you find one that tells your story.
