<p>[QUOTE="David 90, post: 2071563, member: 14878"]Hello everyone! I have two lovely sculptures I would like your advice on. I have done lots of research online to try and determine if my sculptures are genuine marble. I will add some pictures so you can have a look and any help would be greatly appreciated. Both sculptures are very heavy, very cold to the touch. Up close they look like sugar. I also put a small drop of vinegar on the bottom and bubbles formed. They scratch easy again in places that are not on show. I have not cleaned them as not sure if that's a good idea. If I hold them up to the light light passes through them and i could see what looked like a vein running through. These are both from the family workshop, they were wrapped in old newspaper. Any help with ID and possible age would be greatly appreciated, many thanks[ATTACH=full]249750[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]249750[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
