Description

This marble altar table centers on a hand‑chiselled Agnus Dei (Lamb of God) relief set inside a radiating sunburst halo, a meaningful Christian symbol for Jesus Christ as the sacrificial lamb.
The main structure is hewn from solid natural white marble with soft natural grey veining. Its top mensa slab comes forward, decorated with classic layered egg‑and‑dart and ogee moldings.

A recessed Rosso Levanto red marble front panel holds the Agnus Dei relief. Two pairs of Giallo Siena yellow marble columns with detailed Corinthian capitals and stepped square plinths symmetrically frame the red central panel.

The classic three‑tone combination of white body, red panel and yellow columns follows Baroque‑style church aesthetics. It serves as permanent liturgical furniture instead of ordinary decorative pieces.

Exquisite Hand‑Carving

We use high‑quality marble to carve this holy church furnishing.

On this marble altar, every ray of the sunburst halo and the fine wool texture of the Agnus Dei figure are individually hand‑chiselled by our master sculptors.

Our craftsmen carefully control carving depth and sharp‑edge details, ensuring the sacred motif remains clearly visible even from 10 metres away within large sanctuaries.

All capitals, plinths and architectural moldings are carved from solid natural marble blocks, with no fiberglass or composite cast components. Classical proportions of Corinthian‑style elements are strictly followed to avoid the simplified look of modern kit‑built work.

Where to Place

This high-quality holy work is suitable for:

Catholic parish churches: serve as a main freestanding altar or a secondary side‑chapel altar

Anglican / Episcopal churches: can be fitted with or without a tabernacle to match local liturgical customs

Chapels, school and hospital oratories: available in scaled‑down compact versions for intimate worship spaces

Private family chapels and domestic shrines: offered as table‑top or half‑size devotional marble altar tables

Marble Carving Sculpture – Technique Process
1. Design & Planning

Based on religious themes or client requests, artists create sketches and drawings to define the pose, size, and details of the statue.

2. Selecting the Marble Block

High‑quality natural marble is chosen for its color, texture, and durability, ensuring it is suitable for indoor churches or outdoor use.

3. Rough Shaping

The marble block is cut to size and roughly shaped. Artisans remove excess stone with chisels and machines to form the basic outline.

4. Fine Carving

Using finer tools, sculptors carve facial expressions, hands, drapery, and religious symbols. This is the most skill‑intensive stage.

5. Smoothing & Polishing

The surface is smoothed with abrasives and polished to reveal the natural luster of the marble and a refined finish.

6. Quality Check & Protection

Each statue is carefully inspected. If needed, small corrections are made, and a protective treatment can be applied, especially for outdoor sculptures.

Bronze Sculpture – Technique Process
1. Design & Clay Model

The process begins with drawings and then a clay or wax model of the statue. This model shows all the details and is approved before casting.

2. Mold Making

From the clay model, a mold (usually silicone and plaster or fiberglass) is created. This mold captures all the fine details of the original model.

3. Wax Casting

Molten wax is poured into the mold to create a hollow wax replica of the sculpture. Artists refine the wax surface and add or adjust details.

4. Ceramic Shell (Lost‑Wax Process)

The wax sculpture is coated repeatedly with ceramic slurry and sand to build a hard shell. After drying, the wax is melted and drained out, leaving a hollow ceramic mold.

5. Bronze Pouring

Molten bronze is poured into the ceramic shell. Once the metal cools, the ceramic shell is broken away, revealing the raw bronze sculpture.

6. Welding & Chasing

If the sculpture is cast in several pieces, they are welded together. Artisans then grind, refine, and sharpen the details (a process called chasing).

7. Patina & Surface Treatment

Chemical patinas and heat are used to achieve the desired bronze color and tone. A protective wax or clear coating is applied to improve durability, especially outdoors.

8. Final Inspection

The finished bronze sculpture is inspected, cleaned, and prepared for packing and shipping to the client.

Maintenance of Marble Sculptures:

Marble religious sculptures should be cleaned regularly with a soft cloth and mild, pH‑neutral soap diluted in water. Avoid acidic or abrasive cleaners, wire brushes, or high‑pressure washing, as these can scratch or weaken the stone. For outdoor statues, gently remove dust, bird droppings, and pollution stains, and check periodically for cracks or loose parts so any damage can be repaired in time.

Maintenance of Bronze Sculptures:

Bronze sculptures naturally develop a patina over time, which can help protect the metal. To maintain their appearance, clean the surface gently with a soft cloth or brush and mild soap, then rinse and dry completely. For outdoor bronze statues, a thin coat of clear wax can be applied and lightly polished once or twice a year to protect against moisture and corrosion. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive tools that may damage the patina or surface details.
