Antique Bronze Sculptures

Under our Antique Sculpture umbrella, we have a specific category for Antique Bronze Sculptures. As we often deal in 19th-century European Antiques, it is only natural that we have a good selection of Antique Bronze Sculptures, also known as Bronzes in short. Bronze sculptures have existed globally for centuries, with the earliest example discovered, Dancing Girl, dating to the Harappan civilization in 2500 B.C.

Bronzes are usually cast to depict historical figures, mythological scenes, animals, and even novelty or humorous subjects through various casting methods, the most common being wax casting and sand casting. Often found in forms ranging from small figurines to large-scale statues, these pieces were created by skilled artisans who took advantage of bronze’s ability to capture fine details and dynamic poses.

Many antique bronze sculptures reflect the artistic styles of their periods, from classical Greek and Roman works to Renaissance and neoclassical art. Collectors prize these sculptures for their craftsmanship and their ability to tell stories of past civilizations and cultures.

In our Antique Bronze Sculptures category, you will find a diverse selection of Antique Bronze Sculptures, mainly from continental Europe dating to the 18th and 19th centuries and Japan during the Meiji period (1868-1912). We often stock names such as Fanz Bergmann, Antoine Barye, Ferdinand Barbedienne, and Genryusai Seiya.
