AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Exquisite French wall candle pair, three-armed each, made of fire-gilt bronze, dating from ca. 1890–1900!!

These FineArt wall lights are of the finest quality in their craftsmanship and execution!
All appliques have been meticulously chiselled by an bronze foundry unknown to me, likely French, in the Paris area!!

The quality simply speaks for a French work, and its execution points to Paris… (see photos in detail)!

Regarding condition: They are well electrified (see back side - photos)!
Their condition must be described as at least 'Excellent' (see photos)!
