Also known as Seated Mercury.
The Resting Hermes was considered a prize find in the late eighteenth century — being bronze adds considerably to its rarity value — and was very widely copied in northern Europe.
The proportions and subtle twist of the body are in the sculptural tradition of Lysippos, though the head is reminiscent of portraits of Augustus, some 250 or 300 years later. It cannot of course be later than 79 CE, when Herculaneum was destroyed by the eruption of Vesuvius, along with neighbouring Pompeii
I make the figures with marble, a resistant material, which allows the figure to be exposed even outdoors and look even more beautiful over the years.

The statue helps people calm down, not impatient, not hasty. It reminds us there are many difficulties and sadness outside but if we just think about all the goodness, just smile and you will feel the life much easier.
Our figures are made by hand using high quality natural marble stone therefor each piece is unique and may slightly be different in shape and color.
