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

Classical urns gained prominent popularity during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries as part of the Neoclassical movement. Inspired by archaeological discoveries in Greece and Rome, these vessels reflected classical proportions, symmetry, and motif arrangements favoured in aristocratic interiors across Europe.

High-grade decorative urns from this era were predominantly carved from natural alabaster, marble, or porphyry, and frequently fitted with cast gilt bronze (ormolu) mounts, handles, and bases.

Authentic pieces feature hand-carved alabaster showing subtle translucent mineral veining and signs of age-related patination. The gilt bronze mounts display hand-chased details, moderate surface oxidisation in recessed areas, and hand-cut threaded fixings rather than modern machine screws.

Position the urn as a focal point on a fireplace mantelpiece, sideboard top, or central foyer table to add structural height and historical weight to contemporary or traditional room schemes.

Dust alabaster regularly using a soft dry brush, avoiding water or liquid detergents as porous stone can absorb moisture and stain. Gilt bronze mounts should be gently wiped with a soft microfibre cloth without using abrasive polishes that strip original mercury gilding.
