A girandole is a wall-mounted light fixture featuring a mirror plate and one or more candle arms. The glass reflects the flame to brighten the surrounding space. These pieces function primarily as decorative wall sconces in halls, drawing rooms, and dining areas.

How do I hang a girandole?

These fixtures require secure wall anchors suited to the weight of the metal frame and mirror glass. Position them at eye level to ensure proper reflection and balance in the room. Check the fixing points on the reverse before installation to support the weight safely.

How do I clean brass and glass?

Dust the metal and mirror glass regularly with a soft, dry cloth to prevent grime accumulation. Avoid harsh chemical polishes that can strip gilding or damage antique finishes. Use mild glass cleaner applied to a cloth rather than directly on the mirror to protect the backing.

Are these pieces wired for electricity?

Some girandoles retain original candle sockets, while others have been adapted for electrical wiring over time. Check individual listings to determine the current lighting configuration. Consult a qualified electrician if you intend to adapt or install wall fixtures for modern electrical use.
