FAQs

A torchere is a tall, slender freestanding pedestal designed during the 17th century to hold a candle or oil lamp, characterised in the Charles II style by Baroque carving and gilded finishes.

Traditional torcheres from this era were constructed from carved hardwoods such as lime or oak, prepared with a gesso base, and finished with oil or water gilding using gold leaf.

Authentic period examples and faithful reproductions feature deep acanthus leaf carvings, turned baluster central columns, scroll tripod feet, and natural surface wear revealing the red bole beneath the gilding.

In contemporary settings, a torchere serves as an accent pedestal to elevate trailing indoor plants, bronze sculptures, or decorative urns in an entry hall or living room corner.

Dust the gilded surface lightly with a dry ostrich feather duster or soft artist brush, keeping the item away from moisture, liquid cleaners, and direct heat sources that cause gesso to flake.
