FAQs

Figural bronze cherubs and putti gained immense popularity during the Renaissance and saw a major revival in 19th-century European metalwork, particularly in France, where classical and allegorical themes were heavily favoured.

These pieces are typically produced using the lost-wax casting method, resulting in solid or hollow bronze sculptures that are often mounted on marble or stone plinths.

Authentic pieces exhibit natural patination, fine hand-chased surface details, and construction methods consistent with historical foundry practices, whereas modern replicas often display uniform colouring and lack micro-detailing.

They make striking focal points on mantelpieces, credenzas, or library desks, adding classical contrast and texture to modern minimalist or transitional schemes.

Maintain bronze by dusting gently with a soft microfibre cloth and occasionally applying microcrystalline wax to protect the patination, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners entirely.
