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.

A Regency silhouette portrait is a profile image rendered in black paint, ink, or cut paper, popular in the late 18th and early 19th centuries as an accessible form of personal portraiture.

Silhouettes from this era were frequently housed in black papier-mache or ebonised wood frames with an oval brass bezel and decorative brass hangers shaped like acorns, leaves, or roses.

Authentic pieces often display subtle gilding or bronze paint highlighting, original glass covers, period brass mounting hardware, and signs of natural paper age or fine craquelure on the frame varnish.

These small-scale artworks style well when grouped in gallery walls, displayed on dark wood bookshelves, or positioned on a mantelpiece alongside period brass candlesticks.

Keep the artwork away from direct sunlight and damp environments to prevent fading of the paper backing and oxidisation of metal fixtures, cleaning gently with a dry microfibre cloth.
