This Victorian bronze sculpture depicts a stag standing atop a rock formation base mounted on an oval marble plinth, rendered in an Animalier style. The piece possesses a dark brown finish with textured fur on the animal's body and prominent antlers. The sculpture stands 40 cm high, 33 cm wide, and 18 cm deep. The marble base displays tiered mouldings around its circumference, and the bronze element includes visible signature details on the rock surface, together showing signs of vintage wear consistent with age. Suitable for display in a home today, this sculpture fits well on a mantelpiece or desk within a study, living room, or hallway. The compact proportions allow placement on standard shelving or side tables, adding a traditional decorative accent inspired by Highland hunting lodge aesthetics.

FAQs

The Animalier movement originated in 19th-century France, focusing on the realistic and detailed artistic depiction of wild and domestic animals in bronze and other cast metals.

Traditional bronze figures were cast using either lost-wax or sand casting methods, followed by hand-chasing for detail, chemical patination for colour, and secure mounting onto stone or marble bases.

Authentic period bronzes generally exhibit fine hand-tooled finishing, natural surface oxidisation acquired over time, distinct foundry marks or signatures, and a weight proportionate to solid cast bronze.

Display the sculpture on a wooden mantelpiece, desk, or bookshelf to complement natural textures such as dark timber, leather upholstery, and stone surfaces.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth, avoid applying liquid polish or chemical cleaners, and periodically apply a thin coat of clear microcrystalline wax to protect the patinated bronze surface.
