Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer.

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

Putti, often confused with cherubs, are winged or wingless infant figures derived from classical Roman art and revived during the Italian Renaissance. In decorative arts, they frequently represent allegorical themes such as love, the seasons, or hunting.

Traditional antique bronze sculptures were typically cast using the lost-wax process (cire perdue) or sand casting. Once cast, the surface was hand-chased to refine details before a chemical patination was applied to create the final colour and protect the metal.

Authentic bronze pieces often display natural surface wear, aged oxidation in recessed areas, and evidence of hand-finishing rather than modern machine seam lines. Examining the weight, casting method, and seam construction on the underside can help determine period authenticity.

Classical bronze figures complement contemporary spaces by providing a contrasting tactile texture and dark focal point. Placing a bronze statuette on a marble mantelpiece, bookshelf, or sideboard creates an eclectic, curated aesthetic alongside modern furnishings.

Dust bronze sculptures regularly with a soft, dry brush or microfiber cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or water; applying a thin coat of clear microcrystalline wax once a year helps protect the original patina from moisture and environmental tarnishing.
