In England, where the most famous steel cutting workshops were located around 1760. Jewelers hitting the green at that time cut steel jewelry at a higher price than gold. Steel jewelry became fashionable in France and its enormous cost made it popular among the nobility. Napoleon, on his second marriage to Marie Louise of Austria, commissioned an entire piece of cut steel for his new wife. In 1775, Mathew Boulton was the most famous blacksmith, first in London and then in Birmingham. By the 1790s, the industry was producing its best work, although the French Revolution deprived British workshops of their best customer. Although many shops in England closed, the French cut steel industry survived until the early 19th century.

What you are buying (important)
We sell antique and vintage items, not new or freshly manufactured products. Due to their age and previous use, they may show signs of wear, marks, scratches, small losses, or variations typical of the passage of time. These characteristics are common in pieces with history and are part of their condition.
We recommend that you review the photographs carefully, as they show the actual condition of the piece. If you need to confirm any details before purchasing, please write to us.
Photos and color
The photographs are taken with artificial light, so the color may vary slightly depending on your screen and lighting. If color is a deciding factor for you, we can send you additional photographs taken in natural light to get as close as possible to the true tone.
Patina and cleaning
Many pieces have a patina as a natural consequence of the passage of time. We do not remove it, as it may have taken decades to form and, in many cases, contributes to the character and appearance of the piece.
If you decide to clean or polish a piece, do so with caution and keeping the material in mind. Improper cleaning can alter its surface, patina, appearance, and in some cases, its value. If you need guidance on cleaning a specific material, contact us and we will help you.
