Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
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.

Chestnut baskets were popularised in 18th-century England, primarily crafted from creamware or Queens ware. Designed with openwork reticulation, they allowed steam to escape while serving warm roasted chestnuts during dessert courses.

Reticulated creamware is composed of refined lead-glazed earthenware. The lattice design was created by hand-piercing the wet clay using specialised metal punches before firing and glazing.

Authentic Georgian pieces often feature precise hand-cut perforations, light body weight, and an impressed mark on the underside. The lead glaze typically exhibits a soft cream tone with slight pooling in crevices.

Position the basket as a centrepiece on a dining table, console, or sideboard to highlight its structural silhouette. It can remain empty to display the pierced lattice pattern or hold neutral decorative objects.

Dust gently with a soft dry brush to clean within the lattice piercings. Avoid immersing pierced earthenware in water or using harsh chemical cleaners, as unglazed areas within hairline cracks can absorb moisture.
