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

A Meiji period cloisonne charger is a large decorative metal plate crafted in Japan during the late nineteenth century, characterised by designs created using thin wire compartments filled with vitreous enamel.

These chargers are constructed on a copper or brass base, where metal wires called cloisons are affixed to form patterns, filled with enamel pastes, fired in a kiln, and ground smooth.

Pieces from this era feature fine wirework, dense background patterns, counter-enamelling on the reverse side, and occasional minor surface pitting consistent with traditional firing methods.

Position the charger on a display stand atop a sideboard, place it within open shelving, or wall-mount it as a focal art piece in a traditional or eclectic interior.

Dust gently with a clean, dry microfibre cloth and avoid water immersion, harsh chemical solvents, or abrasive metal polishes that could damage the enamel surface.
