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

Cherub or putti motifs gained widespread popularity during the Italian Renaissance and Baroque eras, reaching a decorative peak during the 18th-century French Rococo movement. By the early 20th century, European artisans frequently revived these classical figure designs in decorative cast lighting to add sculptural ornament to interior wall surfaces.

Historically, high-end decorative wall sconces were produced from cast brass, bronze, or spelter (white metal), which were then fire-gilded, silver-plated, or patinated. Casting via the lost-wax or sand-casting method allowed for intricate details such as facial features, drapery, and foliate scrollwork.

Authentic pieces exhibit crisp, hand-chased surface details, visible seam lines from traditional casting moulds, and natural oxidisation within deep recesses. Older lighting fixtures will also feature historical mounting hardware, original candle drip sleeves, and evidence of early wiring modifications.

Decorative sconces are often positioned in pairs to flank a focal point, such as a large central mirror, chimney breast, or entryway console table. Combining classical figural lighting with clean-lined modern paint finishes creates an engaging contrast between heritage detail and contemporary architecture.

Maintain metal surfaces by dusting regularly with a dry, lint-free microfibre cloth. Avoid aggressive liquid polishes or abrasive chemical cleaners, which can strip historic silver plating or original patination; any internal electrical components should be inspected and rewired by a certified electrician prior to installation.
