Wall console for religious statue made from stuccoed and polished Travertine Romano
White Carrara Marble is generally used for church interior fittings because it has an almost homogeneous hardness and toughness, which vary little within the same workpiece, allowing the precise creation of detailed elements.
In the case of this console, which – as requested by the client – was created from stuccoed and polished Travertine Romano, the greatest difficulty lay in the manual removal of material and the inlaying work. This type of marble has varying hardnesses, which cause problems for manual stoneworking and often make it impossible to create the desired details.
