Marble religious statues in Ireland

Our marble statues are carved from stone by hand, not cast in a mould. That has two consequences you can see. The first is that no two pieces are exactly alike: the grain and colour of the stone vary, and the carver’s hand varies with them. When a marble piece is sold, it is gone. The second is that the photographs on each statue’s page are of the actual piece, and the measurements are taken from it.

Marble is usually white or close to it, with the natural veining of the stone showing. It is left in the natural stone rather than painted in colour, so the face, hands and drapery are read through light and shadow. In a church, a garden or a plain room, that restraint is exactly what people are looking for.

We deliver marble ourselves to any county in the Republic of Ireland, at the delivery charge shown on each statue’s page before you buy. Every piece is crated and padded, because marble travels badly otherwise. If a statue arrives damaged, send us a photograph within 48 hours and we will replace it or refund it in full.

You can also collect free of charge in Termonbarry, Co. Roscommon, once the order is paid in full: choose collection at checkout and message Thomas on WhatsApp on +353 85 285 1015 to agree a time. Outside Ireland, marble is not offered through the checkout; write to us and we will quote for it.

Indoors, dust with a soft, dry cloth. For marks, use lukewarm water with a drop of mild soap, then dry it. Outdoors, stand it on a level base and wash off moss or algae gently in spring. That is all. The full notes are on our story page, and our garden statues page covers siting and bases.

If the statue you want is not in the collection, or you need a particular size, marble can be carved to order. If it can be carved, we can carve it.
