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 nineteenth-century France, focussing on the realistic and anatomically accurate representation of wild and domestic animals in bronze and stone.

Nineteenth-century French animalier bronzes were predominantly cast using the lost-wax or sand-casting methods, followed by hand-chasing to refine surface details and chemical patination.

Authentic period bronzes typically exhibit crisp cold-tooling, an integrated cast sculptor signature, natural wear on high points, and original multi-toned patination rather than modern painted finishes.

Place the bronze sculpture on a mantelpiece, dark wood console, or within a styled bookcase alongside books and natural stone elements to add architectural structure.

Dust the surface regularly with a dry, soft microfibre cloth, and apply a thin layer of clear microcrystalline wax annually to protect the metal from humidity and oxidation.
