FAQs

During the late Renaissance and Mannerist periods, small-scale bronze sculptures of animals became valued collectors items in European cabinets of curiosities, heavily influenced by sculptors such as Giambologna.

These sculptures were cast using the lost-wax process (cire perdue), which allowed fine anatomical detail before being hand-tooled and treated with chemical patinas.

Authentic early bronze casts typically exhibit hand-chasing tool marks, remnants of core material internally, and natural wear to the patination around elevated areas.

A patinated bronze statuette can be placed on a marble mantelpiece, arranged within a dark wood bookcase, or displayed alongside desk accessories to add historical depth.

Regular dusting with a soft, dry cloth is recommended, alongside the light application of microcrystalline wax to safeguard the surface patination against humidity and oxidisation.
