The Sustainable Choice

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.

FAQs

The Animalier movement originated in 19th-century France, characterised by sculptors who specialised in realistic, detailed depictions of animals cast in bronze.

These sculptures were typically created using the lost-wax or sand casting method, followed by hand-chasing and the application of a chemical patina.

Authentic pieces often display detailed hand-chased surface features, period-appropriate foundry stamps or artist signatures, and a layered, oxidised patina consistent with age.

Small bronze figures function well positioned on an office desk, stacked atop books on a shelf, or placed on a mantelpiece.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft dry brush or cloth, and apply a thin coat of neutral microcrystalline wax to protect the original patina from oxidisation and moisture.
