Neo-classic

Neo-classic refers to the second revival of classic design for interior decoration in the 18th century. This style was inspired by excavations of Pompeii and Herculaneum that begun in 1738. Common motifs include dolphins, lyres, and urns.

Sconce

A wall-mounted bracket light, typically with an upward-facing arm that holds, in antique sconces, an oil lamp or candle, or in modern examples, an electrified light. Antique sconces were used often in corridors or in pairs on both sides of an entryway. They featured a reflective backplate to intensify candlelight while keeping the candle a safe distance from the wall. They are commonly made of metals such as silver, bronze, or ormolu and became very decorative in the 18th Century.

Acanthus

Acanthus, also called Bear’s Breeches, is a stylized leaf that is native to the Mediterranean. The acanthus leaf motif was first used in classic Greek and Roman architecture, specifically in the design of Corinthian columns and pillars. Today, the acanthus symbolizes longevity and immortality of the soul.
