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 Vernis Martin vitrine is a glazed display cabinet featuring decorative lacquerwork developed by the Martin brothers in 18th-century France, designed to imitate East Asian lacquer techniques on French Rococo furniture.

These cabinets typically feature rich wood veneers such as kingwood, rosewood, or mahogany, decorated with gilded bronze mounts, hand-painted Vernis Martin panels, and glass display doors.

Vitrines in the Louis XV style feature serpentine or bombe profiles, cast gilt-bronze mounts following the curves of the timber frame, and hand-painted lower panels.

Position the vitrine as a focal piece against a neutral wall, using the interior shelves to display ceramic objects, glassware, or curated items to create contrast with modern decor.

Position the cabinet away from direct heat sources and sunlight to protect the timber veneer, clean glass surfaces with a microfibre cloth, and dust gilt metal mounts gently using a dry brush.
