How do I wire antique wall lights?

Most period wall lights accommodate modern internal wiring by threading slim cables through the existing hollow arms or backplates without altering the exterior metalwork. Qualified electricians should handle the installation to ensure the vintage brass and bronze components earth correctly and meet current safety standards.

Where should I place wall sconces?

Position wall sconces at eye level, roughly one and a half metres from the floor, to provide balanced ambient light in hallways, staircases or dining rooms. Mounting them on either side of a mirror, fireplace or large piece of furniture creates focal points that echo classical interior proportions.

What defines the Neoclassical style?

The Neoclassical style draws inspiration from the art and architecture of ancient Greece and Rome, prioritising symmetry, restraint and classical ornament. Look for decorative elements such as flaming torches, urns, acanthus leaves and geometric laurel wreaths cast in ormolu and brass.
