FAQs

An 18th-century wall sconce, often termed an applique, is a decorative wall-mounted fixture designed to hold candles. Popularised in European interiors during the Baroque and Rococo eras, these pieces served to illuminate rooms by projecting light off reflective wall surfaces prior to electricity.

Sconces from this period were predominantly cast in bronze or brass, frequently finished with fire-gilding or dark patination. Fabrication involved lost-wax or sand casting, followed by detailed hand-chasing to define ornate motifs such as acanthus foliage and scrollwork.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-chased surface details, hand-cut threaded screws, and natural oxidisation in carved crevices. They typically lack machine-drilled wiring channels, modern uniform casting lines, or contemporary foundry stamps.

Antique sconces can be placed in alcoves, flanking a central mirror, or positioned along hallways as architectural statements. Positioning them against neutral or deeply saturated paint finishes highlights their metallic patina and sculpted form.

Dust the item regularly using a dry microfibre cloth or a soft-bristled brush to clean carved details. Avoid liquid metal polishes and chemical cleaners that strip historical patination, applying microcrystalline wax sparingly to protect the metal.
