FAQs

Originating in 18th-century France, Rococo furniture is characterised by asymmetrical shapes, sweeping curves, naturalistic ornamentation, and elaborate gilded mounts.

High-grade hardwoods such as walnut or mahogany are typically combined with marquetry veneers, cast gilt-bronze (ormolu) fittings, and marble top surfaces.

Authentic antique ormolu exhibits heavy hand-cast metalwork with sharp chasing details, realistic wear patterns, and evidence of historic mercury gilding rather than modern lacquer or paint.

Position the pedestal in an empty alcove, foyer, or hallway corner to anchor a room while displaying a marble bust, modern ceramic vessel, or large floral arrangement.

Dust regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth and apply high-quality beeswax to the wood, ensuring metal mounts remain dry and untouched by abrasive chemicals.
