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

Originating in Classical antiquity, small ornamental urns and coupes gained widespread popularity in Europe during the 18th and 19th centuries. Designed as decorative vessels for grand residences, they were frequently produced in pairs to adorn mantelpieces, sideboards, and console tables during the French Empire and Neoclassical periods.

19th-century coupes were typically crafted using lost-wax or sand casting for the metal components, often combining dark patinated bronze with gilt bronze (ormolu) elements. These cast metal components were mounted onto heavy turned or carved natural stone bases, such as black marble or alabaster, secured with internal iron rods.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-chased surface details, visible casting seams inside hollow sections, and historic threaded rod fastenings underneath the base. The gilt elements generally display natural wear on raised edges, while patinated areas show age-appropriate oxidisation and minor surface variations rather than uniform modern spray coatings.

Pair ornamental urns on a living room mantelpiece or entry console table to introduce classical symmetry and visual weight. Their combination of dark patina and warm gilding complements both traditional timber panelling and minimalist, contemporary stone surfaces.

Dust bronze surfaces regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth or natural bristle brush, avoiding liquid cleaners, metal polishes, or harsh solvents that strip delicate gilding and patination. Clean marble plinths using a slightly damp cloth with mild pH-neutral soap, drying immediately to prevent water staining.
