FAQs

Louis XVI lighting is defined by Neoclassical design principles, drawing inspiration from ancient Greek and Roman architecture. Common features include symmetry, fluted columns, caryatid figures, laurel wreaths, and refined chased ormolu mountings.

Ormolu lamps were crafted from cast bronze that was mercury-gilded to achieve a durable golden finish. High-quality pieces feature cold-chased detailing performed by skilled artisans before wiring or fuel mechanisms were integrated.

Authentic ormolu displays precise hand-chasing, heavy weight due to solid bronze casting, and natural wear patterns where the gilding has oxidized or softened over time. Reproductions often use lighter brass or lacquered finishes with less distinct cast details.

A Neoclassical ormolu lamp acts as a sculptural focal point when placed atop a streamlined modern console or marble sideboard. Pair it with a neutral silk shade to balance the rich metallic tones against contemporary, minimalist backdrops.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft, dry camel-hair brush or microfibre cloth. Avoid chemical metal polishes, abrasive cleansers, or water, as these will strip or damage the delicate gold layer.
