FAQs

Famille verte is a ceramic palette that gained prominence during the Qing dynasty, particularly in the Kangxi period, characterised by vibrant green enamel overglaze painting alongside other colours.

Ormolu involves applying finely ground, high-carat gold-mercury amalgam to an object of cast bronze, a technique widely used in European decorative arts during the 18th and 19th centuries to enhance Asian export ceramics.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit hand-chased details on the bronze or brass mounts, natural patination consistent with age, and porcelain bodies featuring period-appropriate potting characteristics and pigment fading.

Such pieces function as sculptural focal points, working effectively when paired with simple, neutral lampshades to highlight the intricate hand-painted details without overwhelming modern spatial aesthetics.

Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid chemical cleaning agents, abrasive materials, and excess moisture, which can damage both the delicate enamel glazes and the metallic mount patination.
