What are French neoclassical bronze putti?

They are cast metal figures of winged infants created in the classical style. These sculptures often form part of functional objects such as lamps, clocks, and candelabra. The design draws on ancient Greek and Roman motifs, reinterpreted by French makers during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

How were these bronze figures used?

Many served as decorative lighting supports on mantelpieces and tables. Others functioned as sculptural ornaments or clock components within wealthy interiors. Their placement was intended to display classical learning and refined taste during the nineteenth century.

How do I care for bronze and ormolu?

Dust the surfaces gently with a dry, soft cloth to prevent particulate buildup. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners that can strip the patination or the gold leaf. Keep the items away from direct sunlight and damp environments to preserve the condition of the metal and marble.

How are different periods identified?

Stylistic details and construction methods help distinguish eighteenth-century items from nineteenth-century revivals. Later pieces often utilise mechanical casting marks and specific marble types characteristic of the Victorian era. Signatures or foundry marks stamped into the bronze also provide clues to the origin and date of manufacture.
