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

China fairings are small porcelain figurines and trinket boxes produced primarily in Germany during the late 19th century to be given away as prizes at fairgrounds.

These ornaments were predominantly crafted from slip-cast hard-paste porcelain, painted by hand with overglaze enamel colours and accented with gilt paint.

Authentic pieces frequently display impressed four-digit registration numbers on the underside, crisp hand-lettered English captions across the front, and characteristic mold seams.

These small decorative items are ideal for display on bedside tables, mantelpieces, or arranged inside glass cabinets to bring historical character to traditional or eclectic interiors.

Dust gently using a soft dry brush or microfibre cloth, avoiding water immersion or abrasive cleaners which can wear away delicate overglaze paint and gilded lettering.
