FAQs

Dust gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Avoid using water, liquid cleaners, or abrasive polishes, as these can strip the delicate surface finish and oxidisation.

Position the piece on a mantelpiece, bookshelf, or sideboard where its distinct silhouette can be appreciated alongside clean-lined modern furnishings or period-inspired decor.

Authentic period pieces often feature casting signatures, natural age-related patination, hollow construction typical of spelter, and heavy stone bases characteristic of the 1930s.

While bronze was popular, many accessible figures were crafted from spelter (a zinc alloy) often given a bronzed, silvered, or painted finish, typically mounted on marble or onyx bases.

Art Deco sculpture emerged during the 1920s and 1930s, characterised by sleek lines, geometric forms, and a celebration of modern machinery, athleticism, and glamour.
