FAQs

A Vernis Martin style vitrine is a French glass display cabinet decorated with painted panels lacquered in a technique created by the 18th-century Martin brothers, typically finished in Louis XV or Rococo Revival styling.

These cabinets incorporate wood veneers such as mahogany or kingwood, cast ormolu or brass mounts, curved glass panels, and hand-painted lacquered panels depicting pastoral scenes.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-chased metal mounts, hand-painted lacquer panels showing natural surface craquelure, serpentine curved glass, and traditional mortise and tenon cabinetwork.

Position the vitrine as a single statement piece against a neutral wall in a hallway or reception room to complement its ornate gilt mounts and detailed artwork.

Dust wood and lacquer surfaces with a dry microfibre cloth, clean glass with care to avoid getting liquids on adjacent metal mounts, and position away from direct heat sources.
