"night" Pair Of Art Nouveau Wall Sconces
A superb and spectacular pair of Art Nouveau wall sconces, their symbolism representing "night." On a gilt bronze base suggesting clouds, each revealing a crescent moon and a star, rest two white metal cherubs, each holding branches with blossoms at their tips, ready to receive the light bulbs. Although anonymous, this model, rare in its quality, proportions, and the delicacy of its subject, is undoubtedly the work of a major Parisian workshop in the Faubourg Saint-Antoine. Provenance: an estate sale. Restoration is recommended for one cherub's hand. Very good overall condition. Additional photos available upon request.
