FAQs

Cloisonne is an ancient metalworking technique where enamel paste is applied within compartments created by soldered wire on a metal base, with major stylistic developments occurring during the Ming and Qing dynasties in China.

These pieces are traditionally constructed using a bronze, brass, or copper base, fitted with fine metal wires to form the cloisons, and filled with coloured vitreous enamel before being fired and polished.

Authentic pieces often feature heavier metal weight, visible hand-applied wirework with slight imperfections, traditional natural pigment colours, and natural oxidisation or wear on the un enamelled base surfaces.

Position the item as a focal point on a flat surface such as a coffee table, bookshelf, or mantelpiece to introduce metallic texture, vibrant colour, and historical craftsmanship to modern spaces.

Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth and avoid using chemical cleaners, abrasive materials, or excessive moisture, which can damage the delicate vitreous enamel and oxidise the metal frame.
