About
Important pair of sconces in bronze, the manufacturing process was to achieve a masterful and elaborate fusion of the various elements, which were then chiseled with extraordinary skill and delicacy and finally assembled; to complete it all, mercury gilding or fire gilding was carried out, in which a solution of mercury nitrate is applied to a piece of copper, brass or bronze; followed by the application of an amalgam of gold and mercury. The object is then exposed to extreme heat until the mercury vaporizes and the gold remains, permanently adhering to the metal object; The artifacts of this type reached their maximum artistic and technical development in France; this gilding process has an exceptional resistance to wear, not like the gilding carried out with the galvanic method! Handcrafted in a small workshop on the outskirts of Paris between 1870 and 1875 in pure Louis XVI style. They have a beautiful patina created by time. The electrical system is working but the wiring is European, the compatibility of the voltage in other states must always be verified by an electrician before use. Measures width cm.19, depth cm.16, height cm.45.
