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 arose in 19th-century France, characterized by artists who specialized in anatomically accurate, naturalistic depictions of animals, particularly dogs, horses, and wildlife.

These figures were typically cast in solid bronze using lost-wax or sand-casting methods, followed by hand-chasing to refine surface details and the application of a chemical patina.

Authentic period castings display sharp detail in the cold-work, appropriate weight, historical patina wear, and foundry stamps or incised artist signatures on the integral bronze base.

Such decorative bronzes function well as focal accents on dark wood mantelpieces, styled amongst books on open shelving, or positioned on an executive office desk.

Maintain patinated bronze by dusting periodically with a soft, dry lint-free cloth, and occasionally applying a light coat of clear microcrystalline wax to protect the finish from oxidation.
