Louis XV Giltwood Mirrored Girandoles
Located in New Orleans, LA
This incredibly rare pair of Louis XV-period giltwood mirrored girandoles capture the grandeur, grace and opulence of the Rococo movement in the decorative arts. Each opulent mirror is exquisitely framed with voluminous flourishes of naturalistic motifs exemplary of the Louis XV era’s organic, deliberately asymmetrical stylings. Holding four candles each, these outstanding mirrored girandoles would have decoratively flanked a room of the period elegantly, illuminating the giltwood lustrously and providing ambient light reflected in the mirrored glass.
Mirrors have long played an integral role in decorative design, often serving as focal points of a room. Dating back to the 13th century, the first French looking glasses were very small, yet enormously precious. Because these early mirrors...

Antique and Vintage Girandoles
A girandole is a specific type of lighting fixture with at least two candleholders, frequently held aloft on ornate branches. While antique and vintage girandoles are popular in contemporary homes, these fixtures emerged in lighting design in the latter half of the 17th century, with the French name having derived from the Italian girandola.
Girandoles became popular additions to luxurious interiors in the 18th and early 19th centuries in Europe, particularly in England and France. They were typically affixed to walls in pairs and made from a variety of materials, including gilded bronze and hardwoods.
Artists created girandoles inspired by eclectic sources such as ruined buildings, Greek columns, waterfalls, animals and more. This gave them a sense of movement and nostalgia. Some girandoles were made as both a candleholder and a mirror to reflect light into a room. Many of these mirrors are convex to further enhance the illumination though others are flat.
There are all kinds of lighting to enhance your home. On 1stDibs, find a modern, sophisticated girandole that updates this heritage and pairs well with any furniture style, or find an antique example that brings the beauty of the past into your space.
