The Adam style, developed by brothers Robert and James Adam in the late 18th century, draws heavily from classical antiquity, featuring symmetrical lines, delicate ornamentation such as swags and urns, and a lighter, more refined aesthetic than earlier Georgian designs.

These pieces were typically constructed from hardwoods like pine or beech, heavily gessoed and hand-carved, then finished with gold leaf or painted surfaces to mimic classical stone or marble.

Authentic pieces exhibit period-appropriate joinery, hand-carved detailing with natural tool marks, genuine craquelure in the gesso and paint layers, and appropriate wear patterns consistent with age rather than artificial distressing.

An antique torchere serves as a striking architectural accent when used to display a sculptural urn, a floral arrangement, or left empty as a standalone vertical element in a corner.

Dusting should be performed strictly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoiding any moisture, liquid cleaners, or chemical polishes that can compromise the delicate gesso and historical finish.
