FAQs

Louis XVI style candelabra are recognised by their neoclassical symmetry, delicate floral garlands, and classical figures such as putti or cherubs. Originating in late eighteenth-century France, the style emphasizes balanced proportions and architectural refined details influenced by Greco-Roman antiquity.

Traditional French figural candelabra were crafted using cast bronze finished with mercury gilding, known as ormolu, alongside carved marble bases. White Carrara marble or coloured stones were frequently used as plinths to contrast with the gilded metalwork.

Authentic nineteenth-century pieces demonstrate crisp foundry casting, hand-chased detailing on surfaces, and natural age-related oxidisation in deeper recesses. Additionally, original items feature threaded assembly rods, heavy cast bronze weight, and carved marble plinths with period wear.

Figural candelabra can be displayed symmetrically on a fireplace mantelpiece, dining table, or sideboard to serve as classical focal points. Pairing gilded metalwork with muted contemporary wall tones or minimalist backdrops creates a refined visual contrast.

Gilt bronze surfaces should be dusted gently with a dry, soft microfibre cloth or camel-hair brush, avoiding abrasive chemicals or water that can damage original gilding. Marble bases can be wiped clean with a slightly damp cloth and kept free from acidic substances or wax buildup.
