Our stock includes early oak and walnut furniture from the 18th century, as well as more formal pieces from the Georgian period.

FAQs

During the 19th century, European sculptors produced detailed bronzes inspired by Middle Eastern history, literature, and historic figures such as Saladin. These works often combined academic realism with elaborate costumes, intricate armour details, and dramatic drapery.

Most 19th-century figurative bronzes were cast using the lost-wax (cire perdue) or sand-casting method, followed by hand-chasing to refine fine armour and drapery textures. Chemical patination was then applied using heat and acid treatments to create rich brown, dark, or gilded tones.

Authentic 19th-century bronzes typically display crisp hand-chased surface details, age-appropriate wear to the patina around raised areas, and seamless assembly joins. They often feature foundry stamps, signatures along the base, or weighted bases appropriate to period casting techniques.

Position the sculpture on a dark wood mantelpiece, a mahogany desk, or within a tailored bookcase to anchor a traditional or eclectic space. Surrounding the bronze with muted tones and understated natural materials allows its patinated surface texture and historical form to remain the focal point.

Dust the surface regularly using a soft, dry microfibre cloth or a soft natural-bristle brush for intricate details. Apply a thin layer of microcrystalline wax annually to protect the original patina from moisture, avoiding abrasive chemical cleaners or harsh solvents.
