FAQs

French Art Deco style, prominent in the 1920s and 1930s, is characterised by sleek geometric forms, stylised figures, and a synthesis of modern industrial materials with luxurious traditional substances like marble and bronze.

Authentic pieces from this period frequently utilised a combination of cast bronze, spelter, or brass mounted onto heavy bases crafted from variegated marble, onyx, or slate to provide necessary weight.

Authenticity is typically determined by examining the casting quality, the natural patination of the metal, the type of marble used, and any maker marks or foundry signatures etched into the base.

These decorative objects work well anchoring a collection of hardback volumes on a study desk, bookshelf, or mantelpiece, adding structural weight and historical texture to a modern or traditional scheme.

Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, water, or abrasive polishes, as these can strip the historical patina from the bronze and damage the polished surface of the marble.
