The Art of Making
Each object in our collection is born of centuries-old craft traditions — shaped by hand, fired in kilns, blown by breath, and finished with exacting care.
The Craft · Shell & Silver
Mother of Pearl & Shell Objects
Sea shells are a captivating material — and working with them demands patience and ingenuity. We embellish many shells, especially mother of pearl, with silver and gold to create distinctive luxury accessories. No two shells are identical, which makes every assembly a singular endeavour.
Shells are graded for size and quality, each one carefully cleaned and inspected. The brass embellishments are cast for strength, then matched and fitted to each individual shell — often requiring fine adjustments for the perfect union. Final castings are plated in silver or gold, assembled, polished and lacquered for lasting beauty.
Rudolf II, King of Hungary and Bohemia, helped define the Renaissance Kunstkammer tradition in the late 16th century, where natural curiosities such as shells were paired with precious materials and masterful craftsmanship. We continue that tradition with our own refined interpretation.
The Craft · Metalwork
Brass Casting & Finishing
Lost-wax casting is an ancient art—a process unchanged for centuries, in which molten metal gives life to form. It begins with a model, hand-carved in wax, then encased in clay. When fired, the wax melts away, leaving a perfect void into which molten brass is poured.
Once released from the mould, each piece undergoes a meticulous finishing process. It is carefully cleaned, refined, and polished by hand to achieve the desired level of detail and surface quality.
From here, the pieces are either silver-plated or gold-plated using a specialist finishing process. Each piece is immersed and gradually built up with layers of precious metal, creating a rich, luminous surface with depth and permanence. The result is not merely a coating, but a refined outer skin that enhances both the visual presence and tactile quality of the piece.
To preserve this finish, every piece is then carefully lacquered, sealing in the lustre and protecting the surface. This ensures the pieces retain their brilliance over time without the need for polishing.
Brass, as our chosen base material, offers both strength and precision, allowing for intricate detailing while providing a stable foundation for the final plated finish.
The Craft · Mosaic
Shell Mosaic
Our shell mosaic work brings together the ancient art of mosaic with the precision of marquetry. Shells are sliced wafer-thin, then cut into tiny geometric forms — triangles, bricks, miniature squares — dictated by the final design.
Each piece is carefully prepared according to the desired finish. In some cases, the shells are used in their natural tones like mother of pearl; in others, they are selectively dyed to achieve a particular colour, using materials such as abalone, pen, or hammer shell as the base. The shell is then applied by hand to the substrate. For curved surfaces, we fracture the cut shell into thousands of minute fragments—a painstaking technique that gives our work its characteristic texture and its name.
By layering the shell pieces, a kaleidoscope of natural colour emerges. No two pieces are ever the same. Each finished object is polished and buffed by hand to a perfectly smooth, luxuriously tactile surface, before silver or gold-plated embellishments are fitted.
The Craft · Ceramics
Porcelain
Widely regarded as the finest ceramic, porcelain is prized for its translucent, luminous quality. Fired at over 1,200°C, vitrification gives the material its remarkable strength and delicate beauty — a combination that has captivated makers since the craft originated in China.
By the mid-18th century, porcelain had swept through Europe. The legendary houses of Meissen and Wedgwood made it the material of choice for tableware, vessels and fine figurines. Its natural whiteness invites glazes and gilding.
Today, we shape each piece individually — carefully manipulating soft porcelain clay through a series of transformations. Shaping, drying, glazing, firing, and finally gilding the interior to create a luminous, light-catching finish.
The Craft · Glassblowing
Hand Made Glass
Glassmaking is an interplay of artistry and intense heat. Sand, soda ash and lime are transformed in the furnace into radiant molten glass. The glassblower gathers a small ball on the blow pipe, and with a single breath, begins to shape something from nothing.
Layers are built, colours applied — powdered pigments rolled into the glowing surface — and the form takes shape at the bench, blown and manipulated whilst still molten. Colour upon colour, layer upon layer, each piece becomes singular.
Every finished object is expertly hand-polished or sand-blasted. No two pieces are alike. Our artisan glassmakers bring years of knowledge and an uncompromising eye for detail.
