AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This is a rare pair of wall sconces with a single light arm, made of finely chased and gilded bronze. They are richly decorated with Hercules' attributes, medallions depicting an emperor and an empress, and acanthus motifs. The light arm bears a decorated cup that surrounds the socket.
It is a Parisian work from the Régence period, circa 1720, remarkable for the extraordinary fineness of its chasing.
