Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer.

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

French Rococo lighting, predominantly associated with the reign of Louis XV, is characterised by asymmetrical natural forms, flowing acanthus leaves, C-scrolls, and elaborate botanical details. Wall lights from this period were crafted to catch candle light, showcasing dramatic organic curves and deeply chased gilded brass or bronze surfaces.

Historically, wall appliques were cast in bronze using the lost-wax or sand casting method, followed by hand-chasing to refine intricate relief details. The metal was then gilded using mercury fire-gilding (ormolu), creating a heavy gold layer fused directly to the bronze alloy.

Authentic period pieces exhibit substantial weight from cast bronze rather than lighter brass, along with hand-chased surface details showing variable depth. Examine the back for hand-cut threads, square nuts, cast foundry marks, and natural oxidisation where gilding has rubbed thin on raised edges.

Mounting a pair of gilt bronze sconces on either side of a large modern mirror or contemporary oil painting creates balanced visual weight. The warm metallic tones complement both neutral painted plaster walls and bold wallpapered surfaces in hallways, dining rooms, or living areas.

Dust gilt surfaces regularly with a soft, dry camel-hair brush or dry microfibre cloth to prevent particle accumulation. Avoid harsh commercial brass cleaners, water, or abrasive polishes, as these can strip original mercury gilding and destroy historical patina.
