Thomas Hope Style Ebonised & Water Gilded Torchere

Name: Thomas Hope Style Ebonised & Water Gilded Torchere
Availability: InStock

An early 19th century style ebonised and water gilded torchere, specially commissioned after an original Thomas Hope design in our archives. The inset round top in black marble with grey veining is surrounded with intricate carving and ebonised frieze below with applied carving. A finely carved central column is surrounded by four supports terminating in lion paw feet, on a plinth base with applied hand carved swans which stands on four block feet.

The piece was transported in its raw solid mahogany state to our Devon gilding workshops where it was entirely gessod and sanded before being ebonised with button polish and water gilded in 23¾ carat gold leaf. The bright and matt finishing is particularly striking giving depth to the various designs whilst the intricate carving reflects the light where it is burnished.

I recently bought a beautiful antique mirror from Brights of Nettlebed, and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. The quality is superb, and the customer service was exceptional. The staff were incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to help me choose the perfect piece for my home. Highly recommend!

From start to finish, the team at Brights of Nettlebed were a pleasure to deal with. I ordered a bespoke armchair for my study, and the craftsmanship is impeccable. Thank you!
