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.

Royal Vienna style porcelain refers to decorative ceramics manufactured in the tradition of the Imperial Porcelain Manufactory of Vienna, which operated from 1718 to 1864. Later in the nineteenth century, independent studios produced chargers and display plates featuring intricate classical, mythological, or historical narratives enclosed by elaborate gilding.

These items are crafted from hard-paste porcelain and decorated using overglaze enamel painting. The borders frequently incorporate raised paste gilding, heavy gold leaf tooling, and translucent jewel-toned enameling to create a dimensional relief pattern.

Authentic pieces generally feature a painted or impressed shield mark, often referred to as the beehive mark, on the reverse side. Quality can be assessed by the detail of the figural painting, the depth and execution of the gold leaf borders, and the weight and translucency of the porcelain body.

A porcelain charger can be displayed on a plate stand atop a sideboard or mantelpiece to serve as a focal point. Alternatively, it can be mounted using non-invasive wall hangers within a gallery arrangement alongside framed art or architectural mirrors.

Dust the item regularly with a clean, soft, dry microfibre cloth or a soft-bristled brush. Avoid water, harsh liquid chemical cleaners, and abrasive materials, as moisture and friction can wear away raised gilding and hand-painted surface enamels.
