The art of stone-cutting plastic

[fross]

I do not know where to start. I quite by accident and just recently saw a few works of our masters of stone-cutters. No, I certainly knew and saw the production of this craft, but so that some work is even remotely could be close to art ...
And here, not just a few papers, and a whole galaxy of artists. See for yourself, the first number is the work of the world's elite lapidary art from German Idar-Oberstein, and the second number - ours.

These artists have already grown up students, and among them I am particularly pleased to note the two great masters - Olga and Natalia Poptsovu Bakut, and the first two papers in the first post them too.

In a paradox, the work which the master makes sometimes for a year and which exists in one copy, is just within the amounts that are on our website are treated as a small investment, that is, from 1 to 10 thousand dollars. Moreover, their Number naturally limited, as masters of the whole is not more than a hundred, and even less good, that is a year they can not produce so much work.
Over the past 5 years certainly made some efforts to create a market and higher prices for the works, but so far this auction sale with the maximum result seems to 15,000 pounds.

Auction - secondary market, but such things do not often sell, their love and even the heirs are trying not to part with them.

Despite public. "If I'm not mistaken, a little animalistic Faberge is 10-15 times more expensive, about 4-5 thousand pounds and it is the lower bound as a rule, no? I admit, not a big fan of Faberge, his followers mostly people older than 50, but may I will love to retirement.
But the flowers that I only have Faberge really like them, cost about 200 pounds 300tysyach, and it is 15-20 times more turns. Well, agree 150 flowers from Faberge at all is clearly not enough. And when compared not bad considering that a large part of what is sold as a Faberge made much later.
