Ormolu Gold

Category
Metalware
Condition
Fair
Description

Hello!

I found these light fittings in a skip the other day and I have been told that they're French Ormolu. When I came home I went on Google to find out what I could about them. I have learnt that the term Ormolu is 'ground gold' in French , but the process that was employed to create these gold 'clad' pieces was banned in 1840 due to adverse health risks , but despite this the practice carried on for around another hundred years. While reading I learnt that later on methods were developed to apply gold using different techniques , and that they also started to use a process where the applied layer wasn't actually gold at all , but a type of Bronze designed to replicate the look of gold. I read that they still call these pieces Ormolu , even though they were created in a different manner than the earlier pieces , and even though the gold looking surface may not actualy be gold. The light fittings that I found look like they are (were) of a fairly good quality. There is no 'mould flash' , and it has some fairly intricate details 'carved' into it. They do look very golden in colour , very much more-so than any brass that I have around my home. The gold looking surface looks 'painted' on , although when I cleaned some paint off of one of the pieces to clean it up , the white paint came off but none yellow or golden. One of the fittings has a bent arm which I susspect could easily be bent back in to shape without causing further damage.

I'm basicaly wandering their rough age and value , and also , if anybody could possibly tell from my pictures and given details , what are the chances that these pieces are actualy gold 'plated' ?

Many thanks in advance for any and all replies ,

Chris C

Duncan Phyfe Style Table & Chairs

Category
Furniture
Condition
Excellent
Description

 My friend suggested that it is Duncan Phyfe style. The carpenter I have making replacement leaves said wood is Mahogany. Inside the table (when you pull it out for the leaves) it has stenciled "Patent pending."  There is no center split in the table for leaves. You must pull one end of the table apart to incert the additional leaves.

The table is currently at the shop of the carpenter making replacement leaves or I would include diamensions and interior pictures of "patent pending" stamp.

Any information you could add would be useful.

Thank you!
