Are these figures genuine ancient antiquities?

Most items here date from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, reflecting later revivals rather than antiquity itself. They capture the aesthetic enthusiasm of Victorian travel and Art Deco design. Only select early objects originate from remote antiquity, while the majority represent nineteenth-century Grand Tour or twentieth-century decorative interpretations.

What materials support these bronzes?

Foundries mounted metal sculptures onto substantial stone plinths to provide stability and visual weight. Carrara marble, onyx, granite, and alabaster commonly serve as these architectural bases. The interaction between the patinated bronze figure and the veined marble plinth defines the physical presence of many pieces.

How do Art Deco figures differ from Grand Tour pieces?

Art Deco pieces from the 1920s and 1930s focus on stylised dancers and theatrical figures influenced by modern taste. They frequently combine cold-painted or gilded bronze with marble bases. Grand Tour works from the nineteenth century lean closer to archaeological subjects like sphinxes and shabtis, intended as scholarly or picturesque souvenirs.

How should I display a heavy marble-based sculpture?

Place these sculptures on sturdy furniture that can accommodate significant weight, particularly for monumental bronze and marble pieces. Ensure the surface remains level to protect the stone plinth. Keep them away from direct heat sources and abrasive cleaning agents to preserve the patina and stone integrity.
