FAQs

The nineteenth-century French Rococo Revival style reintroduced mid-eighteenth-century design elements, such as asymmetrical scrolls, acanthus leaves, rocaille motifs, and naturalistic flora. Popular during the reign of Louis Philippe and Napoleon III, this movement favoured elaborate metalwork, fluid curves, and rich gilding.

Authentic French candelabras from this era were primarily cast in bronze or brass and finished with mercury gilding, a process known as ormolu. This technique created a durable, high-lustre gold surface over intricate chased metalwork.

Authentic nineteenth-century pieces typically feature hand-chased surface details, visible casting seams inside hollow sections, and structural assembly using threaded iron rods and square nuts. The gilding often shows subtle natural wear or oxidisation in crevices rather than a uniform modern lacquer.

Positioning a symmetrical pair of candelabras on a fireplace mantelpiece, sideboard, or dining console creates an elegant focal point. They pair effectively with contemporary artwork or neutral backdrops, balancing modern minimalism with historical texture.

Gilt bronze surfaces should be dusted regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth or fine brush. Avoid liquid metal polishes and chemical cleaners, as these can strip the original gilding; candle wax can be softened with warm water and gently removed using a wooden tool.
