Royal Steward's Staircase Oil Sconce, Garde Meuble Royal, with Argand System, Reflector and Reservoir

The Directoire style, of antique and classical inspiration, is characterized by a sober workmanship and simple shapes. After the fall of Louis XVI, the Directoire style marks a desire to break with the opulent royal codes, which will be taken up and enhanced with the Empire. This short post-revolutionary period is characterized by the abandonment of bronze (in the service of Bonaparte's guns), replaced by painted sheet metal, and the search for a new light source (oil and the Argand and Quinquet systems ) replacing the candles, then a symbol of monarchical power.

Applique à huile de l'escalier de l'intendant, Garde Meuble de la Couronne, avec système Argand, réflecteur et réservoir

Le style Directoire, d’inspiration antique et classique, est caractérisé par une facture sobre et des formes simples. Après la chute de Louis XVI, le style directoire marque une volonté de rompre avec les codes royaux opulents, qui seront repris et sublimés avec l’Empire. Cette courte période post-révolutionnaire est caractérisée par l’abandon du bronze (au service des canons de Bonaparte), remplacé par de la tôle peinte, et à la recherche d’une nouvelle source lumineuse (l’huile et les systèmes Argand et Quinquet) remplaçant les bougies, alors symbole du pouvoir monarchique.

CRYSTALS

Rock Crystal / Quartz

In the 18th Century, the royal chandeliers were treated as jewellery, Their pendants were in 'pure water crystal' - natural crystal/quartz.

18th Century Crystal

Before Lead crystal was discovered, the glass was mixed with Manganese, Tungstene or other materials. These materials used to give a smoky, violet or yellow tint to the glass. Our 18th Century Crystal recreates this effect, making it perfect for pieces that need to look antique or fit in a collection.

Bohemian Crystal

The 19th Century is the great avent of Lead Crystal - commonly known as simply “crystal”. Our suppliers in Eastern Europe create pure and transparent Crystal, which we call Bohemian.
