Pair of Chinoiserie Girandoles or Candle Sconces - Late 19th or Early 20th Century.

1900 - 1920
Description

Here are a fantastic pair of late19th / Early 20th Century mirrored brass girandoles ( or candle sconces ) in the Chinoiserie style.

Each sconce combines a diamond  shaped brass body with a bevelled circular mirror - to the front are two removable candle holders which can be adjusted within their sockets to the position you prefer.

Whilst the sconces are undoubtedly European in origin ( indeed probably English ), the brass is decorated with Chinese scenes and imagery - birds flutter overhead as ships sail lazily on a river as flowers and trees bloom in abundance. When lit, the brass will gleam and the candle light will be enhanced, reflected in the mirrors beautifully.

The sconces measure 33cm by 33cm, with a 2.5cm hanging loop to the top and are in good order. They have the gentle surface wear to be expected of items of this age, with some age related marks to the fabric on the reverse (obviously unseen when mounted on the wall) , the mirrors showing foxing which personally I think enhances their beauty and character - please take a look at the photographs to see if this is for you, and if you have any questions at all or would like further photographs, please don't hesitate to contact me.

I offer free delivery to mainland UK, and am very happy to help with quotes for shipping abroad.

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

A girandole candle sconce is a decorative wall-mounted mirror fitted with candle branches designed to reflect candlelight into the room. Chinoiserie examples incorporate European interpretations of East Asian artistic motifs, highly popular during the 18th and late 19th centuries.

These sconces typically feature pressed or repousse sheet brass backs with raised relief patterns, fitted with central circular glass mirrors and cast brass candle branches secured using screw fittings.

Authentic period pieces display natural brass patination, hand-assembled threaded components, silvered or bevelled glass plates, and crisp, hand-chased relief work rather than modern uniform castings.

Mount a pair symmetrically on either side of a mantlepiece, artwork, or hallway mirror to add warm ambient candlelight and reflective depth to the space.

Dust regularly with a dry, soft microfibre cloth. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive polishes that remove natural age patina, and clean glass surfaces carefully without touching the metal surround.
