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.

A cassolette is a decorative covered urn or vessel designed to hold aromatic powders, incense, or perfumed pastilles. During the Regency era, neoclassical design heavily influenced their form, resulting in classical Greco-Roman shapes such as the campana urn.

Early nineteenth-century cassolettes were typically cast in bronze or brass using lost-wax or sand-casting techniques. The individual sections, including the plinth base, pedestal, vessel body, and finial lid, were cast separately and joined internally with threaded metal rods.

Authentic Regency cassolettes exhibit hand-chased decorative details, crisp casting, and original hand-cut internal thread assemblies. Surface finishes show natural oxidisation, patination, and minor wear consistent with age, rather than uniform modern chemical coatings.

A pair of bronze cassolettes is traditionally styled symmetrically on a fireplace mantelpiece, marble console table, or sideboard. The dark patinated metal creates a grounding focal point against both neutral walls and rich backdrop colours.

Dust patinated bronze regularly using a clean, dry microfibre cloth or soft bristle brush. Avoid using liquid polishes, abrasive cleaners, or water, which can damage the original surface patina; a coat of clear microcrystalline wax may be applied sparingly for protection.
