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 Medici vase is a bell-shaped crater urn form inspired by ancient Roman marble vessels, widely popularised across Europe during the Neoclassical and French Empire eras.

These vessels were slip-cast using hard-paste porcelain, hand-painted with detailed enamel scenes, and decorated with burnished gold leaf gilding before final kiln firing.

Authentic examples typically feature precise hand-painted topographical or architectural vignettes, natural surface wear to high-contact gilded areas, heavy square pedestal bases, and occasional painter marks underneath.

Position the pair symmetrically on a fireplace mantelpiece, sideboard, or console table to establish structural symmetry and classical balance within contemporary living spaces.

Dust gently with a soft microfibre cloth or dry soft-bristled brush, avoiding water immersion, liquid detergents, or abrasive polishes that can strip delicate gold leaf decoration.
