Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Art Deco sculptures of the 1930s frequently depicted dynamic figures, theatrical dancers, and athletic forms characterised by geometric lines and streamlined silhouettes. Spelter, a zinc-based alloy, was widely used as an accessible alternative to solid bronze during this era.

These statues were typically cast in spelter or bronze and finished with surface patination, bronzing, or cold paint. The figures were almost universally mounted on stepped bases made from marble, onyx, or slate to create structural balance and colour contrast.

Authentic pieces exhibit crisp casting details characteristic of 1920s and 1930s moulds, along with original stepped stone plinths. Spelter is lighter in weight than solid bronze and typically shows a soft grey metal underneath areas where surface patination has worn over time.

Position the sculpture on a mantelpiece, sideboard top, or bookshelf alongside minimalist contemporary decor to accentuate its geometric form. Placing the object near directional lighting emphasizes the metallic finish and dramatic silhouette.

Dust the figure regularly using a soft, dry microfibre cloth or a dry soft-bristled paint brush to clear crevices. Avoid water, harsh chemical detergents, and metal polishes, as these will strip the original surface patina and damage porous marble bases.
