About the Item

These beautiful giltwood wall lights are designed in the style of decorative art produced in the Louis XVI period (1774-1793). This period saw the emergence of the neoclassical style, which was characterized by its sparing and elegant use of classical forms and motifs. The wall lights feature back-plates which are architectural in their style. The tops of the back-plates are carved with draped fabrics and bows, and their bases are decorated with stylized acanthus leaves. Each back-plate supports three short curved arms, which are carved with stylized foliage and beading. These hold wide turned drip-pans and capitals which are fitted with white candle-tubes.
