Pair Of Large Two-light Gilt Bronze Wall Sconces, Louis XV Style, Circa 1900

This pair of Louis XVI style wall sconces, each composed of two lights, 47 cm wide, was made in France around 1900. Their composition in gilt bronze and brown patinated bronze illustrates the quality and refinement of French decorative goldsmithing of the early 20th century.

Their design, characteristic of the Louis XVI style, highlights elegance and sobriety while recalling the delicate curves as well as the characteristic ornaments of the Louis XV style such as acanthus leaves and the rocaille style.

The combination of gilt bronze and patinated bronze creates a subtle contrast that accentuates the legibility of the details and the purity of the lines. These sconces have been recently electrified and are therefore ready to be installed.

They are ideal for illuminating an entrance hall, a living room or a dining room, bringing a touch of distinction and classic sobriety to an elegant interior.
