Charles Cordier, a renowned French sculptor of his time, created some of the most striking works that merged cultures and human emotions. Inspired by the beauty of different peoples, Cordier’s work was revolutionary for its time, celebrating unity in diversity. Carefully carved from fine marble, it captures the essence of Cordier’s vision.

When you first see this piece, you’ll notice the stunning contrast between the deep, rich tones of the face and the lighter, almost ethereal tones of the robe. Sculpted from black marble, the face exudes strength and dignity, and every curve of the beard and furrow of the brow tells a story of wisdom and fortitude. In contrast, the robe is a dance of delicate folds, crafted from creamy, golden marble, giving the impression of a fabric so soft you might be tempted to reach out and touch it.

Our artisans put in a tremendous effort, devoting countless hours to ensure that every detail, from the texture of the beard to the subtle veins in the marble, was perfect. This was more than just replicating a historical piece; it was breathing life into the stone, creating a sculpture that feels ready to step off its pedestal.
