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 17th and 18th-century Venice, these figures are decorative carved wooden sculptures painted with vibrant colours and finished with gold leaf gilding, traditionally depicting allegorical, theatrical, or maritime subjects.

These statues were typically hand-carved from softwoods such as pine or lindenwood, coated with a gesso base, and decorated using gold leaf alongside hand-applied oil paint pigments.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-carved tool marks, natural age crazing within the paint and gesso layers, visible red bole beneath worn gilding, and structural indications of aged timber.

A Venetian figure creates a focal point when positioned in an entryway, formal drawing room corner, or alongside architectural features to contrast contemporary design elements.

Dust gently with a soft, dry microfibre brush or feather duster, avoiding damp cloths, chemical solvents, or placement near direct heat sources that cause paint shrinkage and cracking.
