We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer.

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
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.

Cassolettes originated in France during the eighteenth century, initially functioning as perfume or incense burners. During the Louis XVI and Neoclassical periods, they evolved into highly prized decorative urns often displayed in pairs atop fireplace mantels or sideboards.

Traditional French cassolettes combine carved mineral stone, such as marble or alabaster, with gilt bronze (ormolu) mounts. The metal components were typically crafted using the lost-wax casting method and subsequently hand-chased to create precise decorative details.

Authentic pieces feature finely chased gilt bronze mounts with detailed chasing, natural variation and veining in the marble, and historical assembly methods such as threaded central steel rods holding the sections together.

Position them symmetrically as a pair on a fireplace mantelpiece, console table, or sideboard to create balanced architectural interest. They work effectively alongside contemporary artwork or modern mirrors to bridge historical and modern design elements.

Dust regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Avoid using liquid chemical cleaners, acids, or abrasive polishes on the gilt bronze, as these can strip the original gilded surface; clean marble surfaces strictly with a damp cloth and mild neutral soap if necessary.
