A Set of Four Louis Xv Style Wall Lights

19th century
Description

A set of four late 19th century French gilt brass wall appliques in the Louis XV style, each with a shaped backplate with reeded edge and a bar at the back for hanging, and with three sconces on scrolling arms, with a drip pan below and with faux candle sleeves, hung with shaped cut crystals and pendants, with further crystals above on scrolling arms. Wired for electricity. French, circa 1880.

Condition: Excellent, all of the lights are in very good condition and all the branches are firmly attached, the sleeves are all present and the fittings are all in good working order. They were rewired in the last 12 years with earthed wiring, and were until recently installed in a house known to Chequers Antiques, where they all worked. Overall the lights have a wonderful appearance, and when installed they give a beautiful light, reflected by the crystals. They take E14 (small screw-in) bulbs, available from Amazon. We recommend using clear glass flame shaped bulbs for the best effect.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Louis XV style lighting emerged during the 18th-century French Rococo movement, characterized by asymmetrical curves, leafy acanthus scrollwork, floral motifs, and sinuous candle arms often dressed with cut crystal glass drops.

Authentic period sconces were crafted primarily from cast bronze, which was frequently gilt using the mercury gilded technique (ormolu), and embellished with mouth-blown glass or lead crystal drops.

Authentic or high-quality period reproductions feature heavy cast metal construction, hand-chased detailing on the backplate and arms, signs of historic wiring or candle sockets, and original patination on the gilding.

These wall lights are frequently installed in pairs or sets to flank central features such as overmantel mirrors, chimney breasts, artwork, or console tables, creating balanced ambient lighting in both modern and classic interiors.

Dust regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth or feather duster. To clean crystal elements, wipe gently with a dampened cloth using diluted isopropyl alcohol, ensuring liquid does not contact the gilt metal finish.
