Added 22 October 2026 · USD factory quotations · Wooden packaging included

The sales quotations shared for this guide range from US$1,350 to US$2,200 for the three marble David and Mary examples below. These are factory prices including wooden packaging, not delivered prices or a market-wide average. Your design, dimensions, stone selection and delivery scope determine the quotation for your project.

Pricing information added: 22 October 2026. The sales team supplied these anonymised quotations for budgeting. The original quotation dates and validity periods were not supplied; request a current written quote before ordering.

¹ The exact marble variety, carving specification and base inclusion were not supplied. These are sales-supplied quotations, not records of completed orders. No customer, destination or transaction details are claimed. Whether the quoted height includes a base was not specified. Do not assume a particular quarry, Carrara marble, pedestal, inscription or delivery service is included.

From Your Budget to a Product Choice

The examples above are useful starting points for a discussion. The quotations did not identify a specific catalogue SKU, so the links below help you compare designs; they do not establish that every listed option has the same price.

For other subjects, browse marble statues or marble religious sculptures. Shortlist the design before comparing quotations.

What Changes the Cost of a Marble Sculpture?

Size is not a universal price formula

The two David quotations show how one subject can have different prices at 120 cm and 182 cm. They do not prove a price per centimetre, a standard weight or a fixed percentage increase. Width, depth, pose, stone and base details still need to match before two quotations can be compared.

Stone Options: Compare the Actual Specification

The supplied quotations identify the material as marble but do not name a variety or quarry. They should not be presented as Carrara, Calacatta or another specific stone without confirmation.

If you have a preferred white, cream or veined appearance, ask which natural stone options can be offered for the chosen design. Compare current samples, colour variation and finish alongside the price. An image of a finished statue is useful for style, but it does not establish the source of the block for a new commission.

For an outdoor installation, also explain the local climate, exposure and maintenance expectations. The stone and design should be discussed for that setting before ordering.

Existing Designs, Ready Pieces & New Commissions

An existing design may reduce the amount of new design work, but a catalogue listing does not necessarily mean a finished piece is in stock. Confirm availability and what can be changed.

A new portrait, pose or multi-figure composition needs a separate brief and approval process. Ask for modelling, carving, revision and finish stages to be stated in the quotation. There is no verified universal custom-work surcharge or production period in the three examples supplied here.

Factory Price vs. Your Total Delivered Budget

The three example factory prices include wooden packaging. Freight was not supplied, so this guide does not attach a shipping allowance or a delivered total to them.

• Send the destination country and postal code, not just the country name.
• Clarify whether delivery is to a port, freight terminal, business address or residence.
• Ask whether insurance, customs clearance, duties and taxes are included or excluded.
• Confirm who provides unloading equipment, lifting, a pedestal, foundation and local installation.
• Request the current production schedule and estimated transit schedule as separate items.

Import charges and local handling depend on the destination and agreed supply terms. Ask for a written scope rather than assuming the factory price covers arrival and installation.

Budgeting for a Church or Donated Sculpture

A religious sculpture should fit both the intended devotional subject and the installation space. Confirm the design with the church or recipient before finalising the order.

• Agree the figure, pose, approximate height and maximum footprint.
• Check access through doors, paths and the final display area.
• Confirm the base, inscription or donor plaque if required.
• Include transport, handling, installation and ongoing care in the project budget.
