How do I clean bronze?

Dust metal surfaces gently with a soft, dry brush or cloth to remove surface particles. Avoid using water, abrasives, or chemical polishes, as these treatments strip away historical patination and damage gilt layers.

Are these items antique?

The majority of pieces date from the nineteenth century, including Regency periods and later Victorian revivals. Craftsmen produced these works using traditional foundry methods long before modern reproduction techniques became widespread.

Why are they mounted on marble?

Marble and onyx bases provide physical stability for heavy metal sculptures and elevate the visual presence of the piece. This combination of stone and metal mirrors ancient architectural practices and adds contrasting colour and texture.

What is a Grand Tour souvenir?

Grand Tour souvenirs were portable artworks purchased by travellers visiting classical sites in Italy and Greece. Foundries in Paris and Rome cast miniature bronzes of famous statues for display in European homes.
