Antique Pair of Spike Wall Lights with Mirror Backs

1920 - 1940
Description

This pair of spike wall lights are in cut glass crystal and brass. The spikes have a ring around the bottom, which is fairly unusual. The finials are decorated with spikes, with a flat side to the back. The two tiers of spikes are suspended from a moulded brass ring to the top and a plain brass ring to the bottom. This piece, without the finials to the top, is 19 cm high, 16 cm wide, and 9 cm deep. These wall lights come with large bayonet bulb holders B22.

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

Antique crystal spike wall lights are decorative wall-mounted luminaires featuring gilt metal frameworks adorned with tiered crystal drops and upright glass or metal spikes. Historically popular in 18th and 19th-century European interiors, they were designed to reflect candlelight or electric light using mirrored backings and prismatic crystal facets.

Traditional pieces feature cast brass, bronze, or ormolu frames, hand-cut glass or lead crystal prisms, and silvered mirror glass backings. The metalwork is often gilded or lacquered to prevent tarnish, while the crystals are connected with thin wire pins.

Authentic antique sconces often display hand-cut crystal drops with subtle imperfections, hand-formed wiring links, and heavy cast metal components. Looking at the reverse usually reveals mercury or early silvering on the mirror plates and signs of age-appropriate oxidisation on the metal framework.

Position a pair flanking a fireplace mantel, an entryway mirror, or a hallway sideboard to create symmetry and warmth. The crystal elements introduce texture and bounce light, working effectively against dark or jewel-toned accent walls.

Dust crystal drops gently with a soft microfibre cloth or camel-hair brush, avoiding ammonia-based solvents that can damage gilt finishes or mirror backings. Individual crystals can be wiped with a mixture of diluted isopropyl alcohol and distilled water, ensuring liquid does not seep into the metal fittings.
