Description
A distinguished pair of gilt bronze two-light sconces, crafted in the elegant Louis XVI style. Each sconce features an ornate circular backplate adorned with Neoclassical motifs, including fluting and a central rosette. Two scrolling arms extend outwards, terminating in reeded bobeches and candle cups designed to hold two lights. The overall design reflects the refined aesthetics of the late 18th century French court, emphasizing symmetry and classical forms. While originally designed for candles, these sconces appear to have been previously electrified, as indicated by the remnants of wiring or sockets within the candle cups. The rich gilt finish shows an attractive patination consistent with age, enhancing their antique appeal.
