How do I clean the inside of the dome?

Lift the glass cover very carefully using both hands and place it on a stable, flat surface away from edges. Clean the glass with a mild detergent and dry it thoroughly before replacing it over your display.

What periods do these domes come from?

The examples available span the Victorian and Edwardian eras, with dates ranging from eighteen sixty to nineteen hundred and five. Earlier nineteenth-century pieces often feature heavier glass and simpler timber turnings compared to later Edwardian variants.

Can I display modern items under these domes?

You can place any object that fits beneath the glass cover, provided its weight does not damage the wooden base. Ensure the items are completely dry and free from moisture before enclosing them.

How do I know if the glass is antique?

Antique glass domes show minor irregularities such as tiny bubbles, surface waviness, and slight thickness variations. These traits stem from traditional mouth-blowing techniques used before modern industrial manufacturing.
