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 vitrine is a glass-fronted display cabinet originating in 18th-century France, designed to showcase delicate items, curiosities, and collectibles. Bijouterie cabinets specifically feature lined interiors and glazed panels, often elevated on legs to present jewellery or small treasures at viewing height.

Late 19th-century French vitrines were commonly constructed using hardwoods such as mahogany, kingwood, or rosewood, adorned with wood marquetry or parquetry inlays. They feature curved or flat glass panels, cast ormolu brass mounts, and interior plush velvet or silk upholstery lining.

Authentic pieces display hand-cut joinery, period-correct brass or bronzed hardware with natural oxidisation, and hand-applied veneers. Original glass panels may exhibit slight imperfections or wave patterns, and interior linings typically show age-appropriate wear along the seams.

A cylindrical or slim vitrine can serve as a focal point in a hallway alcove, living room corner, or dressing room. It provides safe display for small ceramics, silver, or personal collections while adding historical texture to contemporary spaces.

Clean timber surfaces using a soft cloth and beeswax polish applied along the grain, avoiding ammonia-based chemical cleaners near brass fittings or glass. Keep glass panels clear using a mild glass cleaner applied directly to a cloth rather than sprayed onto the frame, and position the piece away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent veneer lifting.
