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

Ruby glass produced in Central Europe during the late 19th century gained its distinct hue through the addition of metallic oxides, such as copper or gold compounds, to molten glass before hand-cutting and polishing.

These items were blown or moulded prior to being hand-cut by artisans who used grinding wheels to create faceted stems, scalloped rims, and geometric planes that refract light.

Authentic 19th-century cut glass pieces typically exhibit slight variations from hand-crafting, wear on the underside of the base, precise facet edges, and notable weight compared to modern reproductions.

Position ruby glass candlesticks alongside neutral table linens, polished brass, or dark timber surfaces to allow natural light to filter through the coloured glass.

Wash cut glass by hand in lukewarm water using a mild liquid soap, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners and sudden temperature fluctuations that could cause thermal stress or fracturing.
