The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

Louis XVI style window hardware emerged in late eighteenth-century France, characterized by a return to classical Greek and Roman symmetry. Design elements typically featured ribbon bow knots, quiver motifs, acanthus leaves, and fluted columns, departing from the asymmetrical curves of the preceding Rococo period.

Eighteenth and nineteenth-century French drapery hardware was primarily cast in brass or bronze. High-end examples underwent fire-gilding (ormolu), where a gold-mercury amalgam was applied to the metal surface and heated, leaving a durable layer of pure gold.

Authentic period pieces exhibit substantial weight due to solid cast metal construction, along with fine hand-chased surface details. Look for natural wear patterns on raised surfaces, minor hand-tooling marks, and historic mounting threads or screw configurations on the reverse.

Classical gilded tie-backs can be mounted adjacent to modern or traditional window frames to secure heavy linen, velvet, or silk drapes. They provide structural function while serving as decorative architectural wall elements within contemporary or period-inspired rooms.

Gilded brass should be dusted regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth or dry soft-bristled brush. Avoid chemical brass polishes, abrasive pads, and water, as these can strip original gilding and destroy the natural patination.
