FAQs

Louis XVI style, originating in late 18th-century France, is characterised by neoclassical symmetry, straight fluted columns, and classical motifs such as acanthus leaves, garlands, and bead moulding.

Dense hardwoods such as mahogany were hand-carved with detailed fluting and foliate patterns, often fitted with metal sconce liners at the top to protect the timber from heat and wax.

Authentic period pieces and high-quality late 19th-century revival examples display precise hand-carvings, subtle timber patination, and original metal nozzle inserts within the sconce.

Position the pair symmetrically on a dining table, mantelpiece, or sideboard, combining rich timber tones with neutral ceramics or contemporary glassware to create balance.

Dust regularly with a dry, soft cloth and apply beeswax paste occasionally to preserve the timber finish, ensuring wax residue is removed carefully using non-abrasive tools.
