FAQs

The Louis XV style is characterised by asymmetrical curves, naturalistic motifs such as foliage and scrolls, and a sense of theatrical elegance that originated in 18th century France.

These pieces are traditionally crafted from cast bronze that has been mercury gilded, a process known as ormolu, often housing mechanical brass clock movements with enamel dial chapters.

Authentic pieces typically feature hand-chiselled detailing on the cast bronze, period-appropriate mechanical movements with maker signatures or serial numbers, and age-consistent oxidisation of the gilt surface.

Such an object serves as a striking focal point when placed on a mantelpiece or side table, contrasting effectively against minimalist contemporary architecture or complementing traditional spaces.

Maintain the surface by dusting gently with a soft, dry cloth, avoiding abrasive cleaners or chemical polishes that can strip the delicate mercury gilding.
