FAQs

Giambolognas Mercury, originally created in the 16th century during the Mannerist period, is celebrated for its dynamic, spiralling composition and the technical achievement of balancing the entire figure on the toes of one foot.

These sculptures are traditionally produced using the lost-wax casting method, resulting in a solid or hollow bronze figure with a chemical patination, frequently mounted on a marble or stone plinth.

Authentication involves examining the crispness of the chasing, the quality of the patination, the construction of the fixings, and any foundry marks or signatures present on the base.

A bronze sculpture provides a strong focal point when displayed on a heavy oak surface, a marble mantelpiece, or an architectural pedestal, contrasting effectively with minimalist modern surroundings.

Dust gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and periodically apply a very light coat of microcrystalline wax to protect the patination from moisture and handling.
