Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer.

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

During the 1930s, Art Deco glassmakers utilised moulded pressed glass techniques, often employing frosted or satined finishes to create geometric, stylised animal figures and functional desk accessories.

These objects were crafted by pouring molten lead crystal or glass into steel moulds, followed by acid-etching or sandblasting to create contrasting matte frosted and polished clear surfaces.

Authentic period pieces typically feature crisp moulded details, appropriate hand-finished or wheel-cut signatures, crisp mould seams, and wear patterns consistent with age on the underside of the base.

Position the glass paperweight on a desk, bookshelf, or mantelpiece where natural or directional ambient light can pass through the clear and frosted crystal, highlighting its sculptural contour.

Dust gently with a soft microfibre cloth and wash occasionally in lukewarm water using a mild non-abrasive detergent, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners that could affect the satin finish.
