See photos and continue reading for more information about this item and the company who designed it. Austin Productions began in Brooklyn, New York in the 1950s by manufacturing imitations of classical Egyptian, Greek, and Roman sculptures for mass consumption. Austin sculptures allowed for world-renowned, classical works of art to influence the average home as scaled-down furnishings and decorations available for purchase. This sculpture was created using a plaster-like mixture called DURASTONE and here is the process: the caster puts steel armatures, or supports, into the mold. He then mixes the DURASTONE -- a special formulation of crushed stone -- into a slurry which is then poured slowly into the mold. When filled, the caster then jostles the mold gently to let trapped air escape. The mold then sits undisturbed for over an hour before it can be demolded. The shell is removed, the rubber mold peeled off, leaving a sculpture reproduction with all the detail and texture of the original. It is then cleaned and placed in a heated chamber for up to 48 hours, which brings it to optimum hardness and readies it for its finish or patina. Although Durastone is tougher than normal plaster, it does not do well outside. Keep it indoors if you'd like to preserve its beauty and condition.
