A figure in hard stone
A granite statue stands as figures otherwise do only in parks: unmoving and made for decades. Statues in granite for sale at 2,000 to 5,000 euro are for when posture and stability are meant to come together.
In granite, figures tend to stay compact: broad shoulders, closed posture, clear planes. Fine folds or delicate fingers are rarely possible in such a hard material, so silhouette and proportion carry the effect. The stone glitters in the light, small crystals form a skin like finely scattered sand. Polished, the body looks smooth and dark, bush-hammered it looks rough and archaic.

Setting up outdoors and in
Granite statues come through winter and summer as long as they stand on firm ground. A paved base and some distance from hedges protect against dampness. Indoors, the weight calls for a look at the statics of the floor. Ask about type, dimensions and weight, and about the joint with the plinth if the figure is not made from one piece.
