Large Pair Of Louis XV Period Gilt Bronze Sconces

Large and beautiful pair of gilt bronze sconces with two light arms.

In their beautiful original gilding and rich, intertwining movements, this pair of sconces decorated with acanthus leaves features two light arms topped with sockets depicting curled flowers on one side and a flower bud on the other, decorated with geometric chiseled dots.
The openwork bobeches, also chiseled from below, emphasize the visual harmony of this piece. The difference in techniques used in this light fixture, between smooth bronze, stamped bronze, and chiseled bronze, demonstrates the quality of the greatest bronze makers of the period.

They are characterized as much by their larger size than the vast majority of Louis XV sconces, but above all by their strong, very curved movement and chiseled finish, which distinguish this pair as being of very high quality.
