How do I clean marble and bronze?

Dust marble gently with a soft dry cloth and avoid harsh acidic cleaners that etch the polished stone surface. Use a dry microfibre cloth on bronze and ormolu parts, as moisture and abrasive polishes strip the historic gilding. Keep these objects away from direct heat sources and damp environments to protect the internal metal rods and prevent the stone from staining.

Were these originally wired for electricity?

Nineteenth-century examples were designed exclusively for wax candles or oil, with electrical wiring added during later twentieth-century conversions. Many retain their original sockets and weighted bases. When converting a candlestick into a lamp or restoring old wiring, choose methods that avoid drilling new holes through structural bronze or original marble.

How do I spot a marriage piece?

A marriage occurs when components from different periods or origins are combined to form a single object. Check the fit between the marble base and the metal stem for mismatched patination, uneven gaps, or modern fixing screws. Pairs should match in weight, marble colour, and casting quality, as mismatched heights or differing bronze tones indicate assembled components.
