FAQs

Figures depicting Mercury, the Roman messenger god, were popular decorative objects in European homes, drawing inspiration from classical antiquity and Renaissance masters like Giambologna.

These pieces were typically cast using the lost-wax method, often incorporating a rich patination on the bronze and mounted on polished bases made of marble or slate.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the quality of the casting, natural wear on the patination, tool marks, and the density and type of the stone base.

This type of sculpture adds a classical touch when placed on a bookshelf, desk, or mantelpiece, contrasting effectively against contemporary minimalist furniture.

Bronze should be dusted gently with a soft, dry cloth. Chemical cleaners and abrasives must be avoided to protect the original patina and metal surface.
