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

Gilt bronze, or ormolu, became prominent in France during the eighteenth century and saw major revivals in the late nineteenth century. Sculptural motifs such as cherubs and putti were drawn from Rococo and Neoclassical design, created by applying a gold-mercury amalgam to cast bronze before finishing with precise hand-chasing.

These lamps are typically constructed from heavy cast bronze that has been chased and gilded. Bases are frequently crafted from dense marble or serpentine stone to provide structural balance, while silk or fabric shades complete the assembly.

Authentic pieces feature significant weight, precise hand-chased surface details on figures and foliage, and dark natural patination in recessed areas. Original gas or oil fittings may show evidence of later electrical conversion.

A symmetrical pair can be placed at opposite ends of a sideboard, console table, or mantelpiece to anchor a room. The warm metallic tone balances minimalist or dark interior palettes, providing classical contrast.

Dust gently with a soft dry brush or microfibre cloth to remove loose debris. Avoid liquid polishes, abrasive pads, or chemical cleaners, as these can strip the original gilding and alter the delicate surface patina.
