FAQs

Ormolu, or gilt bronze, was extensively used in France during the 18th and 19th centuries, particularly during the Neoclassical and Empire periods, to create highly ornate decorative objects and furniture mounts.

Authentic pieces are crafted from cast bronze that has been mercury-gilded or electrogilded to achieve a rich gold finish, frequently mounted on bases of white marble or onyx.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the sharpness of the chiselling, the weight and composition of the underlying bronze, the presence of period-correct casting marks, and natural wear patterns in the gilding.

These decorative objects work well placed upon a mantelpiece, sideboard top, or console table to introduce a touch of classical symmetry and metallic warmth to traditional or eclectic schemes.

Preservation requires dusting gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoiding all water, harsh chemical cleaners, or metal polishes that can permanently strip or damage the historic gilt surface.
