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 17th-century Italian giltwood casket is a decorative carved wooden container finished with gold leaf, produced during the Baroque era in Italy for displaying or storing items.

These pieces were typically carved from timber, prepared with gesso and coloured clay bole, finished with gold leaf gilding, and often fitted with zinc or lead liners.

Authentic period pieces display evidence of hand-carving, natural wear to the gilding revealing clay bole beneath, historic metal hardware, and period-appropriate moulding profiles.

Position the box on a sideboard, console table, or mantelpiece, where it can serve as a vessel for dried botanical arrangements or stand alone as a decorative feature.

Dust gently using a soft dry brush, avoid water or chemical cleansers that damage water gilding, and maintain the item in a stable humidity environment.
