What periods do these sculptures cover?

The pieces span from pre-sixteenth century Chinese work up through nineteenth-century European interpretations and early twentieth-century Art Deco designs. Most items date from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, reflecting both Grand Tour tastes and Asian decorative carving traditions.

How do I care for stone sculptures?

Keep stone and marble figures away from direct heat sources and sudden temperature changes. Dust them gently with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid using liquid cleaners or polishes on soapstone and alabaster, as these porous materials absorb moisture and oils easily.

Where were Grand Tour pieces made?

Grand Tour sculptures were primarily produced in Italy, particularly in workshops catering to foreign travellers visiting Rome and Florence. Craftsmen recreated classical Roman and Greek animal statues in local marbles and serpentine for visitors to take home.

What is the difference between jade and soapstone?

Jade is a tough, dense hardstone that resists scratching and requires specialised abrasive tools to shape and polish. It has a cool, vitreous feel. Soapstone is a much softer, talc-based mineral that feels soapy to the touch and allows for deep, intricate undercutting with simpler hand tools.
