Suite Of 3 Empire-style Patinated And Gilt Bronze Sconces, 20th Century

- Suite of 3 Empire-style patinated and gilded bronze electrified sconces, 20th century

- Three-light sconces featuring Empire-style decor including a rosette support with palmettes, stylized palmettes with scrolled ends, and a gilded bronze crown chased with geometric motifs serving as a support for three cornucopia-shaped light arms. The latter are carved with elegant scrolls of plant motifs. The gilded bronze wicks are decorated with a frieze of lotus leaves alternating with stemmed buttons.

- These sconces, attractive for the suite of three they form, are also distinguished by the research into material effects that make them up. There is a variation in the chasing techniques used: the polished surfaces of the crown circles bring out the brilliance and stand out more than the dappled surfaces of the delicately chased florette motifs in the center of the lozenges. Combined with the juxtaposition of patinated bronze and gilded bronze elements, these sconces offer a delightful play of contrasts in color and light.

- Good condition, electrified.

- Dimensions: 37.5 cm wide, 45 cm high and 28 cm deep.
