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

During the late 19th century, European design was heavily influenced by Orientalism and Japonisme, prompting British makers to produce lightweight furniture using imported bamboo. Retailers such as Liberty & Co popularised these pieces, combining traditional Eastern materials with British Aesthetic Movement forms.

Constructed around a hollow bamboo cane framework, these pieces typically featured lacquered wood, embossed leatherette, painted panels, or woven matting on the flat surfaces. Glazed doors often incorporated leaded glass panels or simple clear panes held in wooden frames.

Authentic period pieces exhibit natural variations in the bamboo canes, wood-pegged or dowelled joints, and authentic patination. Look for structural elements like turned bamboo spindles, embossed paper backings, and historical brass hardware.

Place the piece against neutral or deeply painted walls to highlight its graphic outline and dark patina. Pair it with indoor foliage, ceramics, or books to complement its botanical aesthetic without cluttering the structural silhoette.

Keep the furniture away from direct heat sources and high humidity fluctuations to prevent the bamboo canes from splitting. Dust regularly with a soft brush and apply a gentle beeswax polish occasionally to preserve the finish on wooden and bamboo elements.
