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

Silver deposit porcelain was developed in 19th-century France, combining porcelain bodies with electrodeposited silver embellishments, frequently produced during the Rococo Revival period by notable makers such as Jean Gille.

These pieces consist of a moulded porcelain frame coated in colored glaze, decorated with electroplated silver overlay, hand-painted enamel details, and fitted with a silvered glass mirror plate.

Authentic examples often bear impressed maker marks, such as the Jean Gille raised porcelain wafer mark, along with natural oxidisation on the silver deposit and slight wear on the unglazed foot rim.

Position the mirror on a neutral console table, dressing table, or sideboard top to establish a focal point that contrasts with contemporary, clean-lined surroundings.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft, dry microfiber cloth, avoiding liquid chemicals or abrasive polishes that could penetrate behind the glass or damage the silver overlay.
