FAQs

Emerging in the early 19th century, Empire style metalwork incorporates classical Greco-Roman motifs, contrast between dark patinated bronze and gilt ormolu, and symmetrical architectural silhouettes.

Craftspeople cast components in bronze using the lost-wax technique, applying dark chemical patination to selected sections and mercury gilding, known as ormolu, to highlighted decorative features.

Original pieces feature sharp hand-chased details, heavy cast bronze construction, threaded assembly rods, and subtle wear or oxidisation on the gilded surfaces where handled over time.

Placing a symmetrical pair on a marble mantelpiece or modern sideboard creates an anchor point that contrasts rich historic textures against clean structural lines.

Dust gently with a soft microfibre cloth or horsehair brush, avoiding abrasive polishes or chemical cleansers that can strip delicate gilt finish or original patination.
