Kore o Korai (“maidens” in Greek) are female sculptures belonging to the archaic period of Greek art (8th-5th centuries BC). Sculptures of this style are characterized by their frontality, hieratism, and stiffness, almond-shaped eyes and archaic smile, hair with braids, and standing position, with one leg slightly forward.

Decorating with reproductions of figures from Antiquity, such as this Archaic Kore sculpture, brings the greatness of ancient Greece into our homes. Placing them on a shelf, mantlepiece, or pedestal, these statues can inspire us and make us feel a special connection with history. Moreover, their presence can add an elegant and classic touch to our home, creating a unique and evocative atmosphere.

When we incorporate these reproductions of sculptures into the decoration, it is important to consider some issues such as the size of the figures in relation to the spaces they are going to occupy, the lighting and the arrangement with respect to the rest of the elements we have in the room (furniture, decorative elements, other statues…). These artworks can be placed on pedestals, brackets, niches, or on a table, becoming a focal point that draws attention.

Decorating with art is a good choice that brings a sense of beauty and historical legacy to any space. With these figures, we enrich the aesthetics of our favorite spaces, whether indoors like libraries, offices, or living rooms, as well as outdoors, gardens, patios, and terraces.
