FAQs

French gilded bronze chandeliers gained prominence during the 18th century under Louis XV and Louis XVI, characterised by elaborate rococo and neoclassical designs that reflected the opulence of French palaces and salons.

These fixtures are traditionally constructed using cast bronze, often mercury-gilded or ormolu-finished, and fitted with hand-cut lead crystal prisms, drops, and pendants secured by wire bindings.

Authentic pieces exhibit signs of age such as hand-chased bronze detailing, genuine fire-gilding or oxidisation, hand-cut glass with subtle imperfections, and traditional slot-head screws rather than modern fixings.

An antique chandelier serves as a dramatic focal point in contemporary spaces, contrasting cleanly against minimalist ceilings or adding grandeur to understated living rooms and dining areas.

Cleaning requires gentle dusting with a soft brush and wiping crystals with a mild solution of distilled water and isopropyl alcohol, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners that can damage the gilded bronze finish.
