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

Originating in eighteenth-century France, Rococo wall sconces, or appliques, were designed to hold candles and bounce light off mirrored surfaces. Characterised by asymmetrical scrollwork, floral motifs, and leaf forms, these fixtures represented a shift towards ornate, decorative interior illumination.

Traditional French wall lights were predominantly cast in bronze or brass using the lost-wax casting technique. The metal was then hand-chased to refine surface details and finished with fire-gilding or lacquer to create a reflective gold finish.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit significant weight from solid cast brass or bronze, fine hand-chiselled detailing along the edges, and natural oxidisation or surface wear in recesses. Historical fixtures will also show signs of conversion from original candle holders or gas fittings to modern electrical wiring.

Gilded wall sconces can be mounted in pairs to frame a central focal point, such as a mantlepiece, large gilded mirror, or artwork. Their warm metallic tones and curved silhouettes complement neutral plaster walls or contrast against dark moody paint schemes.

Dust regularly using a dry, soft microfibre cloth or soft-bristled brush to clean intricate relief work. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, brass polishes, or abrasive materials, as these can strip original gilding, lacquer, or age-acquired patina.
