Description
Lighting and wall decor are the jewelry of the home, and this breathtaking pair of vintage Hollywood Regency wall brackets serves as the perfect statement earrings for your space. Curated by Turtle and Crane, these sconces channel the high-drama 'Modern Baroque' aesthetic of Dorothy Draper, featuring her signature oversized shell motif"”the classic coquille"”rendered in a radiant gold tone. Each bracket is anchored by elegant volute scrolls and crowned with a sleek, black lacquered demilune shelf, a bold material combination that calls to mind the executive glamour and heavy-gauge construction of Maitland-Smith.
"These are not merely shelves; they are architectural instruments designed to create moments of drama. The striking contrast between the gleaming brass and the deep black lacquer makes them a quintessential example of Palm Beach Regency chic. Imagine them flanking a large gilded mirror in an entryway, serving as the perfect pedestal for a pair of blue-and-white ginger jars, or holding trailing ivy in a maximalist dining room inspired by Tony Duquette. These sconces bridge the gap between historic grandeur and vintage cool, offering a rare opportunity to add depth, history, and a touch of theatricality to your walls without requiring a major renovation
