FAQs

During the Victorian era, glass domes, also known as skeps or bell jars, were widely used to display delicate ornaments, taxidermy, and handmade crafts such as woolwork floral arrangements, protecting them from dust and damage in coal-heated homes.

These pieces typically feature hand-blown cylinder or oval glass panes, seated on a turned ebony or rosewood base, enclosing intricate arrangements crafted from hand-spun wool, silk, or chenille threads shaped into botanical forms.

Authentic period pieces often display minor imperfections, bubbles, and slight waviness in the hand-blown glass, combined with dense, aged wooden bases and traditional mounting techniques using wire, paper-wrapped stems, and period-specific textile dyes.

These items serve as striking focal points when placed on mantelpieces, bookshelves, or side tables, adding textural contrast and a sense of historical curation to contemporary minimalist or eclectic spaces.

Clean the exterior glass carefully with a microfibre cloth and mild glass cleaner while avoiding harsh chemicals near the base. Keep the assembly away from direct sunlight to prevent the fading of internal textiles, and avoid lifting the heavy glass by its top.
