Description from the seller

Early 20th Century French Gilt Bronze Wall Sconces – Rococo Floral Design Pair

A refined pair of French wall sconces crafted in gilt bronze, showcasing elegant Rococo-inspired curves and delicate floral motifs. These decorative appliques embody timeless sophistication, making them ideal for both classic and eclectic interiors.

The design features gracefully scrolling arms adorned with finely cast acanthus leaves and stylized flower heads, culminating in candle holders shaped like budding blossoms. The warm golden patina enhances the sculptural depth and highlights the quality of the craftsmanship. Originating from France, these pieces date to the early 20th century and reflect the enduring influence of 18th-century decorative arts.

Originally intended for electrification, a small opening remains visible, though the sconces are currently not wired. This detail adds authenticity while allowing for flexible use—either as decorative elements or for restoration to functional lighting.

Dimensions: Height 44 cm (17.3 in), Width 26 cm (10.2 in), Depth 15 cm (5.9 in).

Condition is good overall with visible signs of age, including minor surface wear and patina variations consistent with time. These elements contribute to their charm and antique character.

Highly decorative and increasingly sought-after, this pair will appeal to collectors and interior designers looking for authentic French gilt bronze pieces with strong visual impact.
