Most of our reproductions are cast in plaster. A few of our reproductions are hand cast in urethane resin if additional strength is needed. Some items, like small busts, are cast solid, but most items are cast hollow. The plaster reproductions are hand cast and reinforced with burlap, glass fiber and/or metal rods for extra strength. We make all of our products onsite and use American-made materials.

Plaster is only suitable for indoor display, but some of the pieces in our catalog can be cast in an alternative material which can be used for outdoor display. Please contact us if you would like specific information on a particular piece.

Some items are shown in our offered patinas, some photos are black and white, and other photos are of antique casts. If you’re curious about a particular finish/patina, feel free to contact us.

We recommend the Flat White finish for this purpose. The Flat White patina allows the true form of the object to be seen the most clearly without additional coloration that might make it more difficult for that purpose.

The original plaster castings by P.P. Caproni and Brother were made with multi-piece plaster molds from the original sculptures which created the seam lines. The newer, flexible silicone mold material we use to make new molds from old casts do not create these seam lines unless the lines are already in the antique cast. We leave them showing for historic reasons and to show the accuracy of our casts compared to original Caproni plaster casts. Instances of maintaining the seam lines are noted on the product pages.

The Caproni Collection uses many of the original castings by P.P. Caproni and Brother made over 100 years ago to create accurate, first-generation copies. We use the same old-world tradition of plaster casting, and every replica is a true work of art. Our mission is to preserve and continue the important traditions passed down from the Caproni brothers. Robert Shure, a renowned sculptor in his own right, has been the owner of the Caproni Collection (formerly the Giust Gallery) since 1992. Read more on the About and History pages.

Masks and small and large reliefs (except tabletop pieces as noted) come with at least one embedded hook for hanging unless otherwise noted. For all other pieces, like anatomical casts, refer to the product pages.

Although plaster is not suitable for outdoor use, some of the pieces in our catalog can be cast in an alternative material which can be used for outdoor display. Please contact us if you would like specific information on a particular piece.

If possible, store in a clean, dry location away from dust to preserve your piece. However, if the piece becomes dirty from dust or other debris, you can clean it with a very soft dusting cloth. Gum erasers may also be used if needed. Contact us if you need further instruction.

Of course! Hours are Monday to Friday 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM EST. Appointments are required to ensure your best experience. Weekend visits are by appointment only depending on availability. Please note that casts in the gallery are for display purposes only, and we create casts for purchase per order although we sometimes have small, popular casts in stock. We offer a walk-in discount of 10% % for items in-stock and purchased on-site. Upon arrival, please park on the left side of the building or on the street and use the front entrance. Please contact us to schedule your visit.

Yes! Your art class can visit our gallery for cast drawing sessions. Contact us to discuss the details.

You can read about us under About and History and on our blog.

In the 1970s, Lino Giust purchased the Caproni collection of molds and casts and renamed the company. His successors, Robert and the late Kathleen Shure, retained this name until early 2019 when they changed the name to reflect its historical roots.

Yes! If you have an antique plaster cast with a metal hallmark or stamp (see some examples here), you can contact us for information and an estimation of when the cast was created.
