FAQs

Claude Michel, known as Clodion, was a prominent 18th-century French Rococo sculptor famous for his terracotta and bronze works depicting mythology, nymphs, and Bacchanalian celebrations. His popular compositions were widely cast in bronze during the 19th century.

These sculptures were cast in solid bronze using either lost-wax (cire perdue) or sand-casting techniques. The cast metal was then chased by hand to refine details and chemically patinated to create rich, dark surface tones.

Authentic period castings display sharp detail in the drapery and hair, heavy structural weight, natural oxidation wear, and precise signatures cast into the bronze base alongside potential foundry marks.

Place the sculpture on a marble console table, sideboard, or fireplace mantelpiece. Contrast the dark, ornate bronze detailing against neutral background walls or modern architectural joinery for a balanced, curated visual.

Dust the surface regularly with a dry, soft microfibre cloth or soft bristle brush. Avoid liquids, polish, or abrasive chemical cleaners, as these can strip away the original chemical patina.
