About the Item

Exceptional pair of French wall sconces in the Louis XVI Revival style, dating from the Belle Époque period, circa 1890–1910. These elegant sconces are crafted in heavy gilt bronze and feature a classical urn finial adorned with draped garlands, flanked by two scrolling candle arms with fluted candle cups and drip pans. The vertical backplate is richly molded with neoclassical motifs and terminates in a stylized acanthus finial. The original fire-gilt surface has developed a beautiful warm patina over time, highlighting the sculptural depth and refined French workmanship. Marked “Made in France” on the castings, confirming their production for export markets in the early 20th century. The candle sockets have been professionally replaced with modern electrical fittings, making the sconces ready for immediate installation and safe use.
