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

A French bombe vitrine is a glazed display cabinet characterised by a convex, outward-curving front and side profile, designed during the 18th century Louis XV period.

These vitrines feature a frame veneered in kingwood or rosewood, fitted with serpentine glass panels, interior glass shelving, and cast ormolu (gilt bronze) decorative mounts.

Authentic pieces feature curved cabriole legs, hand-cut floral marquetry, curved glass panes, and cast ormolu mounts that follow the contours of the timber.

A vitrine functions as a focal point in a dining room, hallway, or living space, displaying porcelain, glass, or collected objects against neutral background walls.

Dust timber surfaces with a dry microfiber cloth, apply beeswax sparingly along the wood grain, and clean ormolu mounts using a soft dry brush without harsh liquid polishes.
