FAQs

Wall sconces evolved from torch holders mounted on walls in medieval castles, later developing into ornate carved and gilded wooden fixtures during the Baroque and Rococo periods to reflect candlelight and illuminate grand rooms.

Traditional sconces are typically hand-carved from dense, workable hardwoods such as lime wood or pine, often finished with gesso and gold leaf layers, and joined with traditional mortise and tenon or iron fixings.

Authenticity is determined by examining tool marks left by hand-carving chisels, the ageing of the gesso and underlying wood, natural oxidisation of the gilding, and the presence of hand-forged iron structural elements.

Pairing carved wooden sconces with neutral plastered walls creates a focal point that balances historic texture with modern minimalism, often using LED taper candles for practical ambiances.

Dust gently using a dry, ultra-soft artist brush or microfiber cloth, avoiding all water, liquid cleaning agents, and direct sunlight to prevent cracking the delicate gesso and lifting the gold leaf.
