What periods do these bronzes come from?

The pieces span the nineteenth century, the Victorian era, and the early twentieth century including art nouveau and art deco movements. French foundries dominated production across these decades. Dates often reflect the active period of the sculptor or the operational window of the foundry that cast the edition.

How do I care for a bronze statue?

Dust the surface regularly with a soft dry cloth to prevent particulate accumulation. Avoid using chemical polishes or water which can damage the patinated finish. Maintain stable indoor humidity away from direct heat sources to preserve both the metal and any attached marble components.

What is the difference between cast bronze and terracotta?

Bronze involves molten metal poured into a mould, offering high tensile strength and sharp detail. Terracotta consists of fired clay, providing a ceramic body with a matte, earthy texture. Both materials were employed by classical sculptors, though bronze allowed for greater extension in limbs and drapery.
