A putto is a small, winged infant figure derived from classical art and Renaissance sculpture. These motifs symbolise love or domestic merriment. In nineteenth-century metalwork, they appear frequently on clocks, lamps, and candelabra.

How do I clean bronze?

Bronze objects require only a gentle dusting with a soft, dry cloth to remove surface particles. Avoid modern chemical polishes, as they strip the patination. Wax can be applied very sparingly to protect bare metal surfaces.

Are these figures solid bronze?

Many nineteenth-century decorative items are cast in bronze or brass, though some utilise bronzed spelter as an alternative material. Weight and surface coldness typically indicate solid metal casting. Base inspection reveals the underlying colour and construction methods used by the maker.

Where were these pieces made?

The listings show a strong concentration of French and Italian manufacture, alongside English clockmakers and metalworkers. Grand tour souvenirs originated primarily in Italy for foreign travellers. French workshops produced the majority of the gilt bronze clocks and candelabra.
