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

During the 1920s and 1930s, French sculptors popularised animalier figures depicting hunting dogs, panthers, and wildlife in dynamic, stylised poses. Spelter, a zinc alloy, was frequently used alongside bronze to make these decorative art pieces accessible to a broader market.

Spelter sculptures were cast using a zinc-based alloy, often finished with painted patinas or verdigris lacquers to imitate patinated bronze. These metal figures were typically mounted on heavy marble, onyx, or slate plinths to provide balance and stability.

Authentic period pieces often feature incised cast signatures from recognized sculptors, defined anatomical detail, and age-related surface patina. Spelter is lighter and softer than solid bronze, revealing a white or silvery alloy beneath surface wear rather than copper tones.

Position the sculpture on a dark wood sideboard, marble fireplace mantelpiece, or styled bookshelf to serve as a focal point. Combining period metalwork with contemporary minimalist furnishings creates effective visual contrast and material texture.

Dust the surface gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoiding water, chemical detergent, or abrasive metal cleaners that could strip the delicate patina. A light application of microcrystalline wax can be applied periodically to protect the surface from oxidisation.
