1900 - 1920
Description

A pair of early 20th-century French figural lamps, featuring beautifully cast metal cherubs clinging to torch-style sconces. The cherub figures, ornate bases, and flame finials are all original, showing lovely detailing and patination consistent with their age.

The angled poles have likely been replaced during a later restoration, finished in matte black to complement the original components. Each cherub holds a decorative sconce with remnants of original fittings, making them excellent candidates for rewiring.

FAQs

Torchere lamps incorporating cherub or putti figures became highly popular during the French Rococo and Nineteenth-Century Revival periods. Inspired by Classical and Baroque motifs, these decorative lighting fixtures featured sculpted bronze or brass figures holding torches or candle nozzles to illuminate grand interior spaces.

Historically, high-quality figural torcheres were cast in bronze or brass using the lost-wax or sand-casting method. Bases were often weighted with iron or carved from marble, and the metal surfaces were finished with dark patination, gilding, or chemical oxidation to create depth.

Authentic period pieces display crisp cast details on the facial features and drapery, significant physical weight, and natural wear to the original patination around contact points. Early electrical conversions or original candle fittings with threaded rod construction beneath the base also indicate historical age.

A pair of figural torchere lamps can be positioned symmetrically on a sideboard, mantelpiece, or entry console to frame a central mirror or artwork. The dark patinated metal complements both traditional classical schemes and contemporary minimalist backdrops by providing sculptural contrast.

Maintain patinated bronze by dusting regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth or natural bristle brush. Avoid abrasive cleaners, chemical polishes, or water, which can strip the protective finish and alter the original patina, and ensure all electrical wiring is inspected by a qualified electrician.
