FAQs

The original Dancing Faun is a Roman bronze figurine discovered in 1830 at the House of the Faun in Pompeii, dating from the 2nd century BC. During the 19th century, small-scale bronze reproductions became popular Grand Tour souvenirs for European travellers collecting classical art replicas.

These sculptures were typically cast in bronze using lost-wax or sand casting techniques before being finished with dark patinas. The finished figures were then mounted onto heavy marble or porphyry bases for balance and tabletop display.

Authentic 19th-century castings exhibit crisp hand-chased details, subtle variation in the patina, and natural wear along high points. They often feature hand-cut metal threads on the mounting rods beneath the base rather than modern standardized screws.

Classical bronzes complement mahogany bookshelves, stone fireplace surrounds, or contemporary console tables. Positioning the sculpture against a plain background highlights its silhouette and anatomical details.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft microfibre cloth or dry brush, avoiding water or chemical polishers. Applying a thin coat of clear microcrystalline wax once a year protects the surface against moisture and oxidisation.
