FAQs

Maintain antique cabinets by keeping them away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent veneer cracking, dusting the wood with a dry microfibre cloth, and avoiding chemical polishes in favour of traditional beeswax applied sparingly.

Integrating an antique vitrine into a contemporary setting works best by pairing it with minimalist surroundings to highlight its intricate wood grain, using restrained interior lighting, and curating a sparse, tonal collection of objects on the glass shelves.

Authentication involves examining the hand-cut dovetail joints, old glass panes with imperfections or bubbles, hand-chased brass or gilt-bronze mounts, and the natural oxidisation of the wood veneers underneath the polish.

These cabinets typically feature a hardwood carcase veneered in exotic woods like kingwood, walnut, or mahogany, embellished with intricate floral or geometric wood-inlay patterns known as marquetry, often accented with gilt-bronze mounts.

A French vitrine is a glass-fronted cabinet traditionally used for displaying fine porcelain, glassware, and curiosities, originating heavily from the Louis XV and Louis XVI periods.
