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

The Animalier movement emerged in 19th-century France, driven by sculptors who focused specifically on anatomical accuracy and naturalistic depictions of wild and domestic animals. Artists like Antoine-Louis Barye and Edouard Drouot popularised these dynamic bronze works, making them highly sought after by collectors throughout Europe.

These sculptures were generally cast using either the lost-wax (cire perdue) process or sand casting methods. Once cast, artisans hand-chased the metal to refine surface details before applying chemical heat patinas to achieve rich brown, green, or dark tonal finishes.

Authentic period bronzes usually feature crisp hand-chased details, significant weight, and subtle wear to the patina on raised areas. Look for incised artist signatures, foundry marks or stamps, and evidence of traditional cold-working techniques rather than modern machine finishing.

Place the sculpture as a focal point on a dark wood mantelpiece, a executive desk, or an open bookshelf. Pair it with neutral backdrops, leather-bound books, or modern minimalist furniture to allow the sculptural silhouette and texture to stand out.

Regularly dust the sculpture using a soft, dry lint-free cloth or a soft-bristled brush to clear crevices. To protect the patina, apply a thin coat of clear microcrystalline wax once a year, buffing gently with a clean microfibre cloth, and avoid using chemical solvents or water.
