Choosing the Right Material for a Sculpture Pedestal

Step 2: Choosing the Right Material for a Sculpture Pedestal

We've selected a wide variety of materials to choose from, including laminate, acrylic, wood veneer and metal laminates. Each has its own look and feel. While color is generally a first consideration, don't overlook the texture or sheen of the pedestal. Gloss versus matte, for example, can make a dramatic difference in the appearance and feel of your display.

If you’ve got the time, we highly recommend ordering a sample of whatever material you’re considering to see how it looks with your piece and in the location where you plan to display it—wall color, furniture and decor all make a difference.

Unsure which is best? You can't do wrong with our modern white laminate or black laminate pedestal. Nearly half of all 3D art lives on one of these two classics.
