  • MaterialOrmolu, Bronze, Marble
  • ColourGold, Black, White

  • SizeH 30 cm (12 in) x W 17.5 cm (7 in)

The Louis XVI style emerged in France during the late 18th century, defined by a return to classical symmetry, straight lines, and neoclassical motifs inspired by archaeological discoveries such as Pompeii.

Traditional items often combined fire-gilded bronze, known as ormolu, with patinated bronze figures and bases made from white or colored marble.

Authentic pieces are identified through the crispness of the bronze chasing, the weight and mineral composition of the marble, and the method of assembly using hand-threaded screws or pegs.

They function effectively as symmetrical focal points on a mantelpiece, sideboard, or console table, adding classical contrast to modern minimalist or transitional spaces.

Ormolu should be dusted gently with a soft dry cloth, avoiding abrasive cleaners that strip the gold gilding, while marble can be wiped with a damp cloth and mild soap.
