FAQs

Bronze should be dusted gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and occasionally treated with a microcrystalline wax to protect the patina from atmospheric moisture, avoiding abrasive cleaners, water, or commercial metal polishes.

This type of sculpture serves as a refined focal point when placed on a mantelpiece, bookshelf, or occasional table, contrasting effectively against minimalist modern surfaces or complementing traditional timber furniture.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit a deep, stable patina accumulated over time, crisp casting details without modern porosity, appropriate foundry marks or artist signatures, and heavier bases crafted from natural marble or slate rather than synthetic substitutes.

These pieces were typically cast using the traditional lost-wax method, known as cire perdue, which allowed for intricate detail, followed by hand-chasing and the application of a chemical patination to achieve various shades of brown or green before mounting on marble bases.

Bronze sculptures depicting cupids and putti gained immense popularity during the Renaissance and experienced a major revival in the 19th century, particularly within French and Viennese ateliers, drawing inspiration from classical Greek and Roman mythology.
