Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Rose Medallion is a style of Chinese export porcelain produced primarily in Canton during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, characterized by panelled compositions displaying figures, birds, butterflies, and floral motifs separated by decorative borders.

These vessels are crafted from fine kaolin clay porcelain, fired at high temperatures, and decorated by hand using overglaze polychrome enamelspredominantly pink and green tonesalong with applied gilding on sculptural handles and relief details.

Authentic nineteenth-century pieces exhibit hand-painted brushwork with slight variations in enamel thickness, distinct gilded details such as relief lion handles or moulded dragons, and manual production characteristics rather than uniform transfer prints.

A large Cantonese vase can serve as an architectural focal point in an entryway, positioned within an empty alcove, or placed beside a neutral console table to balance traditional decorative arts with contemporary minimalist schemes.

Dust the surface regularly with a clean, dry microfibre cloth, avoiding water immersion, harsh chemical cleansers, or abrasive materials that can degrade overglaze enamel pigments and delicate gilding.
