This vintage and rare Durastone sculpture by Parisian artist Marc LaPointe is newly restored and in like new condition. It depicts a woman feeding a fawn, making it perfect for any collector or art admirer that loves nature. With its exquisite details and craftsmanship, it will be a unique centerpiece for any room. Sculpture has been fully restored with no chips or cracks and painted with a light bronze tone acrylic and finished with a glossy and heavy lacquer top coat, with new felt added to the base. A copy of the original sculpture card is included as pictured. 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.
