How do I clean cloisonne?

Dust these items gently with a soft, dry cloth to protect the polished metal and enamel surfaces. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or soaking the pieces in water, as moisture can damage soldered joints and old metal bases.

Are these pieces waterproof?

Most antique vessels and jardiniere bowls were created primarily for decorative display rather than functional planting. Placing direct soil or water inside older pieces risks damaging the internal metal and enamel over time.

How are lamps converted?

Many vases and vessels are adapted into table lamps to suit modern interior lighting needs. These conversions often utilise existing openings without altering the primary antique body, allowing the original metalwork to remain intact.

What periods do these date from?

The selection includes items produced during the nineteenth century, the Edwardian era, and the early decades of the twentieth century. Stylistic markers such as Qing period designs and later export aesthetics help indicate the approximate timeframe of manufacture.
