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

Louis XVI style wall sconces are characterised by classical French design elements popularised in the late eighteenth century, including ribbon bows, acanthus foliage, fluted candle nozzles, and symmetrical floral garlands.

Authentic ormolu sconces were cast in bronze using the lost-wax or sand-casting method, chased by hand to refine surface detail, and coated with a gold-mercury amalgam before heating to leave a layer of gilt.

Authentic eighteenth-century pieces exhibit detailed hand-chasing, heavy bronze weight, square hand-cut nuts or threads, and natural wear or oxidisation in untended crevices of the gilding.

Mount these appliques in pairs or sets flanking a central mirror, artwork, or entryway to provide balanced ambient light and highlight architectural features.

Dust gently using a soft, dry camel-hair brush or microfibre cloth, avoiding water, chemical solvents, and abrasive metal polishes that strip original gold leaf or gilding.
