Master Foundry Cast

Hand-cast by an Italian master founder

"Lifelong collector here. I was skeptical anything at this price could read as real metal. It arrived heavier than I expected, the lost-wax detail is sharp, and the numbered certificate sealed it. Best piece I have added to my shelf this year."

Howard M.

Verified

Solid pewter, hand-cast by the lost-wax method. The silver-toned finish is the metal itself, not paint over resin. It is weighty in the hand and holds crisp detail the gift-shop resin pieces lose.

Yes. Every casting is hand-numbered as part of a strictly limited run and ships with a matching Certificate of Authenticity. Once the run closes, the edition is sealed permanently. Gianluca casts and numbers each one himself.

It is made in small batches with materials and care most mass-market options skip, and sold direct, so you are paying for the product itself, not a retail markup.

"A solid lost-wax pewter Augustus at one-third the price of the catalog mints. The kind of cast piece that outlives the shelf it stands on."

"Held beside a resin replica, the difference is in the bite of the detail: the breastplate relief reads sharp, the Cupid at the heel is fully there, and the weight tells you it is metal."

"Hand-cast in Vicenza by a third-generation founder, numbered and sealed once the run closes. The kind of legitimacy the Franklin Mint traded on before the catalogs went mass."

"It arrives heavier than you expect and keeps the one detail the tourist versions quietly drop. Gianluca Ferretti's casting would not look out of place in a museum case."

The Weight That Settles In Your Hand

The first time you lift the Ferretti Foundry Augustus, the pewter settles heavy in your hand the way only cast metal can. Light catches along the breastplate relief and the folds of the regalia. At the heel, the Cupid is fully there, the coded signature most replicas drop. Set it on the shelf and it holds the room. Over the years the silver-toned surface deepens into a soft patina. It stops being a replica and becomes the piece your study is built around.

For the Collector Who Passes Down What He Owns

You stopped buying cheap resin replicas after the third one chipped and read as a tourist souvenir. You priced the catalog-mint editions near $200 and walked away because an open-stock casting carries no real scarcity. The Ferretti Foundry Augustus is for the collector who passes down what he owns, who wants a numbered, documented piece his grandson will inherit.

Solid Lost-Wax Pewter, Hand-Cast in Vicenza, Italy

Cast from solid pewter by the lost-wax method in Vicenza, Italy, and finished in silver tone. Hand-numbered, mounted on a walnut-tone pedestal with a metal nameplate engraved 'Roman Empire 27 B.C.–1453 A.D.', and shipped with a matching Certificate of Authenticity. A faithful Augustus of Prima Porta, down to the Cupid at the heel. Built to stand for generations.

Cast to Stand for The Next 100 Years

Four things that separate a hand-cast, numbered pewter edition from a painted-resin tourist replica.

Solid Lost-Wax Pewter.

Cast as real metal, weighty in the hand, holding crisp relief. Resin replicas feel hollow and blur the fine detail.

The Cupid-at-Heel Detail.

The coded Venus-bloodline signature rendered in full. Most replicas quietly leave the Cupid on the floor.

Numbered Limited Edition.

Hand-numbered and sealed once the run closes, with a matching Certificate of Authenticity. Open-stock replicas carry no number and no provenance.

Engraved Pedestal Mount.

Mounted on a walnut-tone base with an engraved metal nameplate, so it presents as a documented artifact. Bare figurines present as shelf clutter.

Anchors My Study Perfectly

Bought this in October and it has not left the center of my study since. The lost-wax casting catches every fold of the regalia, and the weight of the solid pewter tells you it is the real thing. Every visitor stops and asks about it. Worth twice what I paid.

Stands With My Best Franklin Mint Pieces

I have collected Franklin Mint pieces for decades, and this stands with the best of them. The hand-numbered certificate and the engraved pedestal make it feel like a documented heirloom, not a figurine. The silver tone is richer in person.

The Solid Pewter Tells You It's Real

As a lifelong student of Roman history, owning a faithful Augustus of Prima Porta means a great deal. They kept the Cupid at the heel, the detail the cheap versions drop. The pewter has real heft. This is how the piece is supposed to feel, and it sits where I can see it from my reading chair.

Frank P., 72 Verified Buyer

Bought It As A Retirement Gift

Bought it as a retirement gift for my husband and he was genuinely moved. It arrived beautifully packaged in a foam cradle, and the engraved nameplate was the detail that got him. It sits on his desk where he sees it every morning.

Eleanor V., 64 Verified Buyer

Five Years On, Still The Centerpiece

Five years on the mantel and the silver-toned surface has aged into a soft patina that only looks better. I recorded my edition number with the certificate the day it arrived. My grandson now asks me about the emperor every time he visits.

Common Questions Before You Order

Clear answers for the collector who values a documented, hand-cast edition over a disposable resin replica.

Why is the Ferretti Foundry Augustus $67 when catalog-mint replicas run $200-300?

No catalog, no retailer markup. Gianluca ships directly from his Vicenza foundry. Mint catalogs cover distribution and 2-3x markup. Foundry price is what a hand-cast, numbered pewter edition costs at the bench.

Is this solid metal or just painted resin?

Solid pewter with a silver-toned finish, cast by the lost-wax method. The finish is the metal itself, not paint over resin. It is weighty in the hand and holds crisp relief the resin pieces lose.

Is each statue individually numbered?

Yes. Every piece is hand-numbered as part of a strictly limited edition and ships with a matching Certificate of Authenticity documenting your edition number.

Is this an authentic reproduction of a real Roman statue?

Yes. It faithfully replicates the famous Augustus of Prima Porta: Augustus in full imperial regalia, arm raised in command, with the Cupid at his heel, the detail most replicas leave out.

How large is the statue?

A substantial display-scale piece, weighty in the hand thanks to the solid pewter casting, sized to stand as a centerpiece on a shelf, mantel, or desk.

How do I care for the pewter finish?

Simply dust with a soft, dry cloth. Pewter needs no polishing chemicals; its rich surface texture and depth are meant to age gracefully.

Will more be made once this edition sells out?

No. Once the numbered casting run is complete, the edition is closed permanently, which is part of what preserves its collectibility and value.

What makes it worth the price?

It is made in small batches with materials and care most mass-market options skip, and sold direct, so you are paying for the product itself, not a retail markup.
