Couple Portrait Sculpture

Duo

on Painted Plaster

Intimate and detailed portraits made entirely by hand to your liking and likeness. We sculpt each original cameo into clay and cast the portrait in plaster, sealing to a matte sheen. We mount it onto a base of plaster painted with hand-mixed color. Select from our range of museum-inspired hues, or request an original color to match your space. Referencing art-historical use of the plaster medium with contemporary styling, The Classica Cameo is a unique take on traditional portrait sculpture. We aim to deliver a personal treasure or milestone gift that becomes an heirloom to last for generations.
