This pair of French Rococo style mirrored wall sconces dates from the 1850 period and originates from France. The pieces are manufactured from brass and glass, displaying an aged gold colour palette with rocaille scrollwork, foliate cresting, and bevelled glass mirror plates. Each unit features twin candle sconces holding pink candles with visible flames, curved mounting arms, and elaborate decorative crests adorned with openwork patterns at the top. The sconces measure 41.5 cm high, 19 cm wide, and 13 cm deep. These compact fixtures fit ideally in a fireplace alcove or on either side of a mantelpiece to provide atmospheric illumination. The reflective glass panels amplify the warm glow of lit tapers in a dining room, hallway, or living space. The design coordinates seamlessly with traditional European interior schemes, bringing antique character and historical charm to interior walls.

FAQs

A French mirrored wall sconce, historically referred to as a girandole, is a wall-mounted light fixture featuring a reflective glass panel framed by cast metalwork, designed to hold candles and bounce light into the surrounding room.

These fixtures were typically constructed from cast brass, bronze, or copper alloy, often finished with gilt or warm lacquer, and paired with mercury-glass or silvered glass mirror inserts.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-chased metalwork, uneven casting marks on the reverse, hand-cut bevelled glass mirror edges, and natural oxidisation on the metal surface rather than uniform modern plating.

They can be positioned symmetrically on either side of a chimneypiece, mounted within narrow hallway spaces, or used to frame a central focal point above a sideboard or console table.

Clean the metal casting gently using a dry microfibre cloth to preserve the historical patina, avoiding harsh chemical polishes. Clean the mirror glass separately using a lightly damp cloth, taking care not to let moisture seep behind the frame edges.
