Description

Trio of Gilt Metal Ormolu Style Winged Cherub Putti Wall Lights – Rococo Revival

Brief Description:

A fabulous and wonderfully decorative set of three gilt-metal, ormolu-style wall light fittings, each beautifully modelled as a flying winged cherub or putto in the exuberant Baroque and Rococo Revival tradition.

These delightful figures are full of character and movement, with their wonderfully expressive faces, finely detailed curly hair, feathered wings and elegantly flowing drapery.

Each cherub is depicted in flight, with one arm gracefully outstretched whilst the other is raised to support a beautifully formed, trumpet-shaped light fitting.

The figures retain their attractive golden finish, with subtle variations in tone and areas of darker patination that beautifully accentuate the sculptural detailing.

This trio of wall lights comes from the Rococo Revival period around 1930 and follows a continental European style. The three fixtures take the form of winged cherubs, or putti, modelled in gilt metal with an ormolu-style finish in gold. Each cherub has a curly head of hair, feathered wings, and draped cloth around the body, and holds a bell-shaped socket in one raised hand while the other arm stretches outward. Surface wear, minor marks, areas of darker patination, and rubbing to the gilt finish appear across the vintage pieces, which require new electric and bulb holder fittings. Each light measures 20.3 cm high, 14.4 cm wide, and 7.1 cm deep. Placement suits narrow wall spaces in a home to provide decorative wall illumination or accent lighting in a hallway, bedroom, or living area. The figural sculpture design brings a French Chateau aesthetic to interior spaces.

Rococo Revival lighting emerged in the mid-19th century, drawing inspiration from 18th-century French decorative arts. It is distinguished by ornate scrolling motifs, asymmetrical forms, naturalistic foliage, and sculptural figures such as putti or cherubs.

These sconces were primarily constructed from cast brass or bronze, often finished with gilt or leaf technique to imitate solid gold. The figures were formed using lost-wax or sand casting methods before being chased and assembled.

Authentic period pieces display crisp casting details, visible assembly seams or threaded rods, and age-consistent wear to the gilding. They frequently show signs of conversion from gas or candle fittings to early electric wiring.

Gilt wall sconces create striking visual contrast when mounted against dark or textured walls in contemporary spaces. They can be installed flanking a central artwork or mirror to anchor a dining room, hallway, or bathroom layout.

Gilt metal surfaces should be dusted regularly using a soft, dry microfibre cloth or camel-hair brush. Water, liquid cleaners, and abrasive polishes should be avoided, as moisture can compromise fragile gilding and patina.
