The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

Spelter figures, popular during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, are cast zinc alloy sculptures finished with a gilded surface to emulate bronze, frequently depicting rustic or pastoral subjects like harvesters.

Spelter is a zinc-rich alloy melted and poured into multi-part moulds to create hollow, lightweight decorative items, which were then gilded, bronzed, or painted to achieve a decorative surface layer.

Authentic period spelter pieces exhibit lighter overall weight than bronze, reveal a soft white or grey metal core where surface gilding has worn away, and feature cast seam lines or hollow bases.

Display these figures symmetrically on a mantelpiece, console, or sideboard to add geometric structure and historical metallic tones to a modern room design.

Dust carefully using a dry, soft-bristled brush or microfiber cloth, avoiding water, harsh detergents, or metal polishes that can permanently strip the delicate original surface gilding.
