FAQs

These lamps originate from 18th-century Italian ecclesiastical or grand domestic settings, where large carved wooden candlesticks and altar prickets were used before being converted for electric lighting in later centuries.

Craftsmen carved the structural bases from softwoods like lime or pine, coated them with a plaster-like gesso substrate, and applied thin sheets of gold leaf, which were then burnished or distressed.

Authentic period pieces exhibit subtle hand-carving variations, layering of gesso beneath worn gilding, natural age wear around high points, and physical signs of electrical adaptation such as drilled central channels.

Combine the ornate, distressed metallic base with a simple neutral linen or silk shade to balance classical detail with modern simplicity atop a sideboard or console.

Dust gently using a soft, dry microfibre cloth or light feather duster, avoiding water, solvents, or liquid polishes that can dissolve water-gilded finishes or damage underlying gesso.
