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

It is a hand-carved wooden candlestick originally designed for religious altars in 18th-century Spain, featuring gold leaf gilding, which has subsequently been wired for modern electrical use as a table lamp.

Traditional pieces were hand-carved from timber, sealed with layers of gesso ground, coated in clay bole, and finished with thin sheets of genuine gold leaf.

Authentic items display hand-carved imperfections, natural distress showing the underlying red bole or white gesso, and historical evidence of electric conversion such as drilled cord channels.

Position the lamp on a sleek console table or wooden sideboard to create visual contrast between period craftsmanship and modern surrounding decor.

Dust the surface using a dry, soft brush or cloth, avoiding water or solvent-based liquid cleaners that can damage the gesso layers and lift fragile gold leaf.
