How do I clean my statue?

Dust the porcelain gently with a soft dry brush to prevent dirt accumulation in delicate crevices and painted folds. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaning solutions or submerging antique pieces in water, as moisture can damage old glazes and pigments.

Where should I display these figures?

Place statues on stable wooden furniture or within enclosed cabinets away from direct sunlight to protect hand-painted colours. Ensure they sit safely out of high-traffic zones where accidental knocks might damage projecting elements like fingers or hats.

How do I identify the period?

Examine the stamped marks, backstamps, and painted numbers on the underside of the base to cross-reference known factory dates. Stylistic markers such as Art Deco geometric lines, Victorian classical drapery, or Edwardian costume details also indicate the era of manufacture.
