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

Ormolu refers to gilt-bronze metalwork used extensively in 18th and 19th-century French decorative arts to create ornate candle holders, clock cases, and furniture mounts.

Artisans combined hand-moulded porcelain figures and floral blossoms with cast, chased, and gilded bronze branches that terminated in candle nozzles.

Authentic period pieces typically display evidence of mercury gilding, hand-chasing marks on the metalwork, and hand-painted polychrome details on the porcelain elements.

Position the pair symmetrically on a dining table, mantelpiece, or sideboard to create a balanced focal point within contemporary or traditional settings.

Dust gently using a dry, soft-bristled brush, avoiding chemical cleaners that strip gilding, and clean porcelain elements with a slightly dampened cloth.
