Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
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.

An Edwardian perpetual calendar is a mechanical desktop date indicator crafted during the early 20th century. It utilizes internal fabric or paper reels operated by external turned knobs to continuously update the day, date, and month without requiring replacement each year.

These calendars were typically housed in fine hardwood cases made from mahogany, oak, or walnut. The internal mechanisms consist of printed cloth or paper reels mounted on metal spindles and operated via turned wooden side knobs.

Authentic pieces exhibit natural age-related patination on the mahogany, period-correct typography on the printed reels, and hand-turned wooden knobs. The internal cloth or paper rollers usually show light age toning, and construction features traditional joinery like dovetailed or pinned frame assembly.

Place the calendar on an office desk, library bookshelf, or console table alongside leather-bound books and brass desk items. It serves as an functional accent that adds historical character to modern home offices and traditional studies.

Dust the exterior cabinet regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth and apply a natural beeswax polish occasionally to preserve the wood finish. Avoid exposing the unit to direct sunlight or high humidity to prevent the internal paper or cloth rollers from fading or expanding.
