Frequently Asked Questions
How do you determine the value of an antique bronze?
The value of an antique bronze depends on the artist, the period, the foundry, the patina and the rarity of the subject. A bronze signed by a sought-after artist can be worth several thousand euros. Our expertise gives you a reliable and current valuation.
What bronzes do you buy?
We buy bronzes from the 19th and 20th centuries: animalier sculptures, Art Deco statuettes, decorative bronzes (candelabra, mantel clocks), mythological subjects, as well as bronzes signed by sought-after artists.
Do you value bronzes from photos?
We can give an initial indication based on photos, but the final valuation requires an on-site examination to assess the quality of the casting, the patina and to detect signatures.
Is the valuation of an antique bronze free?
Yes. The home valuation is completely free and without obligation, in Paris and Île-de-France.
