How do I clean gilded bronze safely?

Dust surfaces gently with a soft, dry brush to prevent scratching the delicate gold leaf or ormolu finish. Avoid liquid cleaners, chemical polishes, and abrasive cloths entirely, as these substances strip away historic gilding.

Were these originally wired for electricity?

Most nineteenth-century and earlier pieces started life holding candles or serving as altar lights before later conversion into table lamps. Some items retain their original candle-holding configuration, while others incorporate wiring added during the twentieth century.

How do I identify French Empire style?

Look for classical motifs such as rams' heads, caryatids, and symmetrical geometric designs influenced by ancient Rome and Greece. These pieces typically utilise heavy gilt bronze and ormolu with a strong architectural presence.

Can I use standard lampshades with these?

Compatibility depends on the specific fitting and whether the piece has been adapted with a standard lamp shade carrier. Candelabra and unaltered candlesticks require careful consideration of scale if paired with modern shades.
