Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
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.

Glassware produced in Liege during the early 18th century is characterized by Venetian and Bohemian design influences, often featuring optic-moulded patterns such as honeycomb motifs, flared bowls, and knopped stems.

These pieces were individually hand-blown using soda-lime or potash glass mixtures, often shaped in patterned metal moulds to create subtle textured surfaces before being joined to hand-formed stems and conical bases.

Authentic period glassware typically displays a snapped or ground pontil mark on the underside of the base, subtle structural irregularities, minor embedded air bubbles, and slight natural grey or grey-green tinting within the glass formulation.

Antique stemware can be displayed inside illuminated glass cabinets, arranged on vintage bar carts, or used as elevated decorative accents on sideboards alongside classic leather-bound books.

Antique glass should be washed exclusively by hand in lukewarm water using mild washing-up liquid and a soft cloth, avoiding extreme temperature fluctuations and dishwashers to prevent thermal shock or surface clouding.
