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 candelabra originated in France during the eighteenth century as luxury lighting fixtures crafted from fire-gilded bronze. High-ranking artisans used mercury gilding to produce a durable, bright gold finish favoured by royalty and aristocracy.

Authentic ormolu items are constructed using bronze castings coated with a gold-mercury amalgam. After heating to evaporate the mercury, the remaining gold layer was hand-chased and burnished to create detailed highlights and varied textures.

Authentic pieces feature heavy cast bronze bases with precise hand-chiselled chasing on leaves, flowers, and scrolls. Look for signs of hand-threading on assembly screws, weight consistent with solid cast metal, and natural wear to the gilded surface on raised edges.

Position them symmetrically atop a contemporary credenza, dark timber dining table, or marble mantelpiece to create visual contrast. Pairing ornate gilded metalwork with minimalist backdrops highlights the historical craftsmanship.

Dust regularly with a soft, dry camel-hair brush to prevent accumulation in detailed chasing. Avoid chemical polishes, abrasives, or water, as these can strip or degrade the original gilded layer and underlying patina.
