Why, yes. So much easier to rearrange the furniture when it can move on its own and sit in new poses. And I wouldn't require the statues to stand in complex poses when I'm not actually there. Sometimes they could just drape themselves over couches and silk pillows and look languid. I would be a very fair filthy-rich crazy person.
Well, I've dreamt of a palanquin with six Nubian slaves... four to carry the palanquin, one to fan me with one of those fancy feather fans, and one to feed me peeled grapes. I'd have to be filthy rich too, to be able to hire those slaves.
(Of course I'd hire them, not own. I don't have room for six slaves. Not to mention the palanquin.)
EDIT: Oh, handsome Nubian slaves. Handsome of course. It just wouldn't be the same with ugly ones.

Pretend this posted on Sunday, and I might even manage another one for Monday.

In a loincloth.
