FAQs

Art Deco emerged in the 1920s and 1930s, characterised by sleek lines, geometric symmetry, stylised animal forms, and modern industrial materials.

Authentic period pieces often combined cast metal figures, such as spelter, bronze, or brass, mounted upon heavy bases of veined marble, onyx, or slate to provide necessary weight.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the casting quality, the patina of the metal, natural wear on the base, and occasionally foundry marks or artist signatures inscribed on the sculpture.

They can be placed on a bookshelf, office desk, or mantelpiece to anchor stacks of books, adding structural weight and a sophisticated vintage focal point to the room.

Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth and avoid harsh chemical cleaners or excess moisture, which can damage the aged patina of the metal and etch the polished marble surface.
