FAQs

Originating in 19th-century France, the Animalier movement focused on the realistic depiction of animals in fine art, popularised by sculptors such as Antoine-Louis Barye.

Most 19th-century French bronzes were created using the lost-wax or sand casting technique, followed by hand-chasing and the application of a chemical patina.

Authentic period bronzes often feature stamped or incised foundry marks, such as F. Barbedienne, alongside the artist signature cast directly into the metal base.

Place bronze sculptures on mantelpieces, bookshelves, or side tables alongside leather-bound books and understated natural textures to add depth and historical context.

Dust the bronze gently with a soft brush or microfibre cloth, and apply a light coat of clear microcrystalline wax annually to protect the original patina from oxidisation.
