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

Glass display domes, also known as cloches, were widely used during the Victorian and Edwardian eras to protect delicate objects from dust and atmospheric damage. They were commonly employed to house taxidermy, skeleton clocks, wax floral arrangements, and natural history specimens in domestic interiors.

Period display domes consist of a hand-blown clear glass shell mounted on a turned timber base. The bases were frequently constructed from dark woods or painted with an ebonised finish, featuring a carved groove to hold the glass rim securely.

Authentic period cloches feature hand-blown glass with subtle irregularities, including air bubbles known as seeds and slight thickness variations. The timber base typically shows physical wear consistent with age, alongside hand-turned detailing and custom fitting matched to the unique contour of the glass dome.

An antique glass dome can be placed on a console table, mantlepiece, or sideboard to enclose botanical elements, sculptural objects, or historic artifacts. Positioning the item alongside modern minimalist decor creates an engaging balance between traditional craftsmanship and contemporary style.

The glass section should be cleaned using a soft lint-free cloth and a mild glass cleaner applied to the cloth rather than sprayed directly onto the object. The wooden base requires gentle dusting with a dry microfibre cloth and should be kept away from direct heat sources to prevent cracking or warping.
