FAQs

Empire style lighting originated during the reign of Napoleon Bonaparte in early nineteenth-century France, drawing heavy inspiration from ancient Roman, Greek, and Egyptian architecture. Key characteristics include symmetrical column bases, heavy stepped plinths, and classical metal embellishments such as acanthus leaf ormolu mounts.

Traditional Empire lamps frequently incorporate solid natural stone such as white or patterned marble, paired with ormolu, which is mercury-gilded bronze or heavy cast brass. Shades are commonly constructed from pleated silk, linen, or stiffened woven fabric in neutral tones.

Authentic period pieces feature substantial weight due to solid stone and cast metal bases. Look for hand-chased detail on metal mounts, slight natural variation and veining in the marble, and evidence of historic rewiring or conversions from oil or candles to electricity.

Positioning an Empire table lamp on a contemporary minimalist sideboard or desk provides architectural structure and visual balance. Pairing classical column lamps with neutral walls allows the gilded details and stone textures to act as refined focal points.

Marble surfaces should be wiped gently with a soft, dry cloth or a damp cloth using pH-neutral water, avoiding acidic or abrasive chemical cleaners. Ormolu mounts should be dusted with a dry, soft brush to prevent moisture from causing tarnish or removing delicate gilded finishes.
