Sculpture has the unique ability to transform an interior, bringing character, movement and artistic expression to a space in a way that few other decorative objects can. Whether displayed as the focal point of a room or incorporated into a carefully curated collection, original sculptures possess a timeless quality that continues to appeal to collectors, interior designers and enthusiasts of fine art. At Markies Antiques, our sculpture collection celebrates this enduring appeal through a carefully selected range of bronze, marble, spelter and mixed-media works from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, with a particular emphasis on Art Deco sculpture and important European artists.

Our collection regularly features sculptures that reflect the innovation and elegance of the Art Deco movement. During the 1920s and 1930s, sculptors embraced streamlined forms, graceful movement and luxurious materials to create works that perfectly captured the optimism and sophistication of the era. Today these original sculptures remain highly sought after, admired not only for their artistic merit but also for the craftsmanship involved in their creation.

Among the artists represented within our collection are internationally recognised names including Ferdinand Preiss, one of the most celebrated sculptors of the Art Deco period, whose beautifully modelled figures remain synonymous with the elegance of the movement. We also regularly offer works by renowned sculptors such as Emmanuel Frémiet, Alfred Gilbert, Demétre Chiparus, and other respected European artists whose work continues to attract collectors across the world. Alongside these notable names, our stock frequently includes exceptional sculptures from accomplished but lesser-known studios, each selected for its quality, originality and visual impact.

The diversity of our collection reflects the broad appeal of sculpture across different periods and styles. Elegant bronze figures, animalier sculptures, marble carvings, busts and decorative works sit alongside dynamic Art Deco dancers, sporting figures and wildlife studies. Whether depicting the human form, animals or abstract themes, each sculpture demonstrates the remarkable skill of the artist and foundry responsible for its creation.

Bronze sculpture remains one of the most enduring areas of collecting due to its exceptional durability and ability to capture intricate detail. Rich patination, finely modelled surfaces and expertly cast forms give these works a depth and presence that develops beautifully over time. Marble and stone sculptures offer a contrasting aesthetic, bringing texture and classical refinement to both traditional and contemporary interiors, while mixed-media Art Deco sculptures often combine bronze, ivory, onyx or marble to create striking decorative pieces that epitomise the glamour of the period.

Every sculpture within our collection is individually chosen for its artistic quality, authenticity and condition. Provenance, originality and craftsmanship are carefully considered before a piece is offered for sale, ensuring that each work reflects the high standards for which Markies Antiques has become known. Where conservation is required, it is undertaken sympathetically to preserve the integrity and historical significance of the sculpture.

Original sculpture offers more than decorative appeal. It provides an opportunity to own a tangible piece of artistic history while introducing individuality into a home, gallery or private collection. Whether displayed on a console table, mantelpiece, pedestal or within a dedicated collection, sculpture naturally draws the eye and creates a lasting impression.

Our sculpture collection changes regularly as new works are acquired from across Britain and Europe, ensuring there is always something fresh to discover. From museum-quality Art Deco bronzes to beautifully crafted nineteenth-century animal studies and elegant decorative figures, every sculpture has been selected for its ability to inspire and endure. Whether you are an experienced collector searching for an important signed work or simply looking for a distinctive statement piece, our carefully curated collection offers sculptures that combine artistic excellence with timeless appeal.
