This pair of Victorian Rococo Revival girandoles dates from the late nineteenth century and follows a French Chateau design vibe. Constructed from wood, plaster, glass, and metal with a gold gilt painted finish, each piece incorporates an oval beaded frame decorated with a ribbon bow cresting and a relief detail of a songbird with a vine harvest, supported by twin candle arms with acanthus leaf scrolling at the base. Visible details include mirrored oval plates and metal candle sconces. The dimensions measure 56 cm wide by 15 cm deep by 86 cm high. Suitable for placement in a living room fireplace alcove or hallway, these wall-mounted mirrors offer decorative illumination and reflective light. The design integrates traditional antique motifs with practical functionality, making them adaptable for period interiors or eclectic modern spaces.

FAQs

A girandole is an ornamental branched candleholder, often integrated into a wall mirror, designed in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to reflect candle illumination throughout living spaces.

Late nineteenth-century girandoles were constructed with carved wood or moulded gesso backings, gilded with leaf or paint finish, fitted with reflective mirror plates, and equipped with cast metal candle branches.

Authentic pieces display signs of hand-finished plasterwork or carving, historic oxidisation or light foxing on original glass plates, and original surface wear or darkening within the gilded finish.

Positioning a pair symmetrically on either side of a fireplace, mantelpiece, or hallway console table creates balanced vertical proportions and provides ambient lighting options.

Remove dust using a soft dry camel-hair brush, avoiding water, liquid polishes, or harsh solvents that could dissolve delicate gilding or loosen underlying plasterwork.
