A pair of silvered bronze wall sconces with three torch‑shaped arms on an ornate backplate, dating to circa 1950–1960 in the mid‑century modern style and made in France; dimensions about 34 cm wide, 67 cm high, 17 cm deep, not in working order and requiring electrical renovation for safe use.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This pair of three-torch wall sconces, made of silver-plated bronze, belongs to the decorative aesthetic of the mid-20th century. Its symmetrical and elegant design features three torch-shaped arms projecting from an ornate wall plate, with angular lines and classic details that evoke a neoclassical taste reinterpreted in a modern style.
The metal retains its original shine and structure, with a light patina that enhances its vintage character without compromising integrity. Each arm is finished with decorative caps that mimic candles, prepared for electric lighting. However, as shown in the photographs, the electrical system requires renovation to ensure safety and functionality.
These sconces were designed for distinguished interiors—living rooms, hallways, or entrances—where their sculptural presence and ambient light could add sophistication. Today, beyond their decorative value, they offer potential as restored pieces, ready to regain their splendor in classic or eclectic interior design projects.
Certified shipping and good packaging.
