FAQs

Diana, the Roman goddess of the hunt, became a prominent subject in 19th-century French Academic sculpture, symbolising athletic movement, classical balance, and mythological allegory.

Sculptures from this era were primarily cast in bronze using either the lost-wax method or sand casting, followed by precise hand-chasing and chemical patination.

Authentic period bronzes generally feature crisp casting details, evidence of hand finishing, a cast artist signature on the base, and authentic foundry marks.

Display the bronze figure on a mantelpiece, console table, or dedicated plinth, using directional spotlighting to emphasize the cast details and patinated finish.

Maintain the surface by dusting regularly with a clean, soft microfibre cloth and periodically applying a microcrystalline wax to guard against oxidation and atmospheric moisture.
