FAQs

Popularised during the Victorian era, particularly associated with the Balmoral craze in Scotland, these desk accessories incorporated local materials such as Scottish granite, deer antlers, and silver to reflect the romanticised rustic aesthetic of the Highlands.

These pieces typically combined polished hardstones like Peterhead granite, mounted red deer antlers, sterling silver mounts, and often inset semi-precious stones such as cairngorms or paste jewels.

Authentic pieces exhibit period-appropriate hand-chased silver hallmarks, natural wear and patina on the antler tips, heavy hand-polished granite bases, and traditional construction methods such as threaded silver fittings rather than modern adhesives.

This type of statement object works effectively as a focal point on a traditional partner desk, a library table, or styled within a study to add historical texture and contrasting organic materials.

Granite should be dusted with a soft, dry cloth and avoided contact with acidic substances. Silver components require careful polishing with a non-abrasive silver cloth, taking care not to let polish residue contact porous antlers or stone.
