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

An antique still bank is a non-mechanical money box with a slot for inserting coins, widely produced during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries as decorative savings containers.

Edwardian money boxes were commonly manufactured using cast iron, brass, or speltera zinc-based alloy often painted or chemically patinated to simulate bronze.

Authentic examples demonstrate natural surface wear to the paint, seam lines from two-part casting moulds, period fastenings, and original inset glass or enamel eyes.

Place the item on a bookshelf, desk, or mantelpiece alongside leather-bound volumes and metallic accents to create a refined, curio-inspired display.

Dust the surface softly using a clean, dry brush or microfibre cloth, avoiding liquid cleaning agents or harsh polishes that could strip the original painted finish.
