A dramatic pair of antique French Baroque Revival wall sconces, dating to the late 19th-early 20th century. Each substantial three-light sconce features finely modeled bearded male masks with expressive faces, scrolling acanthus arms, and a central shield-form cartouche, all cast in gilt metal with exceptional depth and detail.

The sculptural quality and weight of these fixtures ( 16 pounds each) suggest their original use in a grand interior-possibly a formal residence, hotel, or theatrical space. The surfaces retain an authentic aged patina with areas of gilding wear, enhancing their character and historical presence.

Each sconce holds three candle-style lights. The fixtures show evidence of early electrical conversion and later rewiring; professional inspection is recommended prior to installation.

An impressive and rare matched pair, ideal for flanking a fireplace, entryway, or anchoring a dramatic interior vignette.
