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 19th-century France, featuring sculptors who specialised in detailed, realistic depictions of animals, particularly horses, dogs, and wildlife.

Equestrian bronzes were cast using the lost-wax (cire perdue) or sand casting techniques, finished with chemical patination, and typically mounted on marble, stone, or wooden bases.

Authentic pieces often feature foundry marks, hand-chased surface details, realistic chemical patination showing age, and artist signatures cast directly into the metal base.

Display the sculpture as a central feature on a mantelpiece, sideboard, or executive desk alongside natural materials like wood and leather.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft microfibre cloth and periodically apply a thin coat of microcrystalline wax to guard against oxidisation and moisture damage.
