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

Sculptural candlesticks depicting mythological figures such as mermen, tritons, or cherubs became prominent in French decorative arts during the 18th and 19th centuries, influenced by Rococo and Baroque styles.

These pieces were typically cast in solid bronze using lost-wax or sand-casting methods, followed by detailed hand-chasing and the application of a dark brown or chemical patina.

Authentic period bronzes exhibit significant physical weight, precise hand-chased anatomical detail, natural wear patterns on high points of the patina, and cast construction seams on the underside.

A pair of bronze figural candlesticks functions effectively when symmetrical placement is used on a fireplace mantelpiece, sideboard top, or formal dining table setting to add visual anchor points.

Regular dusting with a dry, soft microfibre cloth is recommended. Avoid liquid chemical metal polishes, which strip historical patination, and apply microcrystalline wax sparingly to protect the metal.
