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

Kashan lustreware refers to a specialised type of decorated ceramic produced in the Persian city of Kashan during the 12th and 13th centuries, renowned for its metallic glaze effects and intricate equestrian or figurative iconography.

These pieces were typically composed of a quartz-rich fritware paste, covered in an opaque white or tin-based glaze, and painted with metallic oxides before undergoing a complex, oxygen-reduced second firing.

Authentication involves examining the fritware body composition, analysing the metallic sheen produced by copper or silver oxides, evaluating stylistic calligraphy or figurative motifs, and observing age-consistent glaze condition.

Displaying historical ceramics on bespoke acrylic stands inside modern glass cabinets or on open library shelving creates a focal point that bridges historical craftsmanship with contemporary minimalist decor.

Fritware ceramics should be kept in climate-controlled environments free from direct sunlight and humidity fluctuations, cleaned exclusively with soft dry brushes, and handled with clean cotton gloves.
