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

Bohemian ruby glass originates from the historic region of Bohemia, producing rich red glass coloured with copper or gold compounds. These decorative items frequently feature hand-gilded motifs and detailed enamelling popular during the 19th century.

These items were mouth-blown using potash-lime glass infused with metallic oxides to create the distinctive ruby hue. Intricate patterns were subsequently applied by hand using gold leaf, liquid gold paint, or raised enamel pastes before low-temperature firing.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit smooth pontil marks, hand-applied gilding showing natural rubbing or minor surface wear, and deep colouration integrated into the glass matrix rather than a synthetic modern surface coating.

Displaying a pair of glass bells on a mantelpiece, bookshelf, or sideboard alongside neutral stone or polished brass creates a balanced visual contrast. Grouping them on a mirrored tray helps accentuate light reflecting through the rich ruby glass.

Dust the surface gently using a soft, dry microfibre cloth or a soft camel-hair brush to protect delicate gilding. Avoid immersion in water, abrasive chemical cleaners, or heavy friction, as these can strip hand-applied gold leaf.
