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

Originating in Normandy, France, during the nineteenth century, the pottery workshops of Bavent became renowned for producing realistic lead-glazed earthenware architectural ornaments and animal sculptures used to decorate rooflines and country estates.

Artisans utilised local earthenware clay, hand-moulding and sculpting anatomical details before applying a tin or lead glaze, often incorporating glass eyes and hand-painted oxide accents prior to high-temperature kiln firing.

Authentic pieces typically feature inset glass eyes, fine glaze crazing, hand-painted details on hooves or features, and subtle firing imperfections consistent with historic French earthenware production.

Position the piece as a sculptural accent on a dining room sideboard, kitchen island, or mantlepiece to introduce historical texture and interest within modern or rustic settings.

Dust regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and avoid immersion in water or using abrasive liquid detergents, which can penetrate micro-crazing and degrade historic glazes.
