Set Of 3 Gilt Bronze Wall Sconces, Louis XVI Style – Mid-19th Century

This magnificent set of three wall sconces perfectly embodies the elegance of the Louis XVI style. Made in the mid-19th century, they are crafted from finely chased gilt bronze, revealing the skill of the artisans of the period. Each sconce features two light arms, adorned with faux wooden candles that subtly conceal the screw threads for the bulbs, preserving the classic aesthetic while allowing for modern use thanks to later electrification. Each sconce boasts striking decorative details: the candle holders are beaded and highlighted with delicate scrolls, and at the center sits a superb ram's head, a symbol of strength and refinement. At the top of each sconce, a stylized urn with a torch, enhanced by sculpted drapery, adds a theatrical dimension to the ensemble. The fluted shaft terminates in inverted asparagus spears and a small pine cone. These decorative pieces transcend the simple function of lighting: they bring a touch of nobility to any interior, whether classic or resolutely contemporary.********Period: Mid-19th century Excellent condition of the bronzes Electrified with E14 bulbs Shipping available in France and internationally : 100725.2 https://www.antiquites-lecomte.com/boutique/luminaires/ensemble-de-3-appliques-en-bronze-dore-style-louis-xvi-milieu-xixe/
