The Sustainable Choice

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.

FAQs

A Vernis Martin vitrine is a glass-fronted French display cabinet featuring decorative lacquered panels painted in the style perfected by the Martin brothers in 18th-century Paris. These cabinets typically incorporate Louis XV rococo lines, curved glass, and gilt-bronze mounts.

Vitrines from this period were commonly crafted using fine hardwood frames, exotic wood veneers such as kingwood or rosewood, sheet glass panels, cast ormolu mounts, and hand-painted lacquered panels.

Authentic 19th-century pieces display hand-carved joinery, mercury or cast gilt-bronze mounts with sharp chasing, original blown or shaped glass, and hand-painted lacquer panels showing natural surface craquelure.

A vitrine can serve as a focal point in a dining room, hallway, or drawing room to display collections of porcelain, glassware, or decorative objects, contrasting classical craftsmanship against neutral contemporary backdrops.

Keep the cabinet away from direct sunlight and central heating sources to prevent veneer lifting or lacquer cracking. Clean glass with specialized cleaners applied directly to a cloth, and dust gilt-bronze mounts with a soft dry brush.
