FAQs

Maintain the finish by dusting gently with a dry microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners, and keeping the piece away from direct sunlight and excessive humidity fluctuations.

A painted vitrine creates a sophisticated focal point in a contemporary dining room or living space, offering a soft contrast when paired with minimalist furniture and neutral colour palettes.

Authentic period pieces exhibit age-appropriate wear to the painted surfaces, hand-blown glass with minor imperfections, traditional joinery without modern screws, and genuine patination accumulated over decades.

These cabinets are typically constructed from solid hardwoods such as oak, pine, or beech, featuring hand-carved wooden or gesso ornamentation, glazed glass panels, and traditional joinery like mortise and tenon.

Nineteenth-century French furniture often draws inspiration from Rococo and Louis XV revivals, characterised by asymmetric curves, naturalistic floral motifs, and scrolled cartouches finished with hand-painted or gesso surfaces.
