AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Pair of brass wall sconces – French classical style – 20th century
Description
Elegant pair of brass wall sconces with a classic taste, characterized by refined lines and harmonious proportions that evoke traditional French style.
The structure features a horizontal arm with a decorative terminal ring and a central body with a spherical element, typical of neoclassical-inspired productions reinterpreted during the 20th century. The candle holder is made with a molded wax-like finish, a detail that helps recreate the atmosphere of antique candle lighting. The warm, lived-in brass patina adds authenticity and charm to the objects, making them particularly suitable for both classic interiors and more contemporary contexts in contrast.
Ideal for entrances, hallways, or living areas, where they can create discreet yet characterful points of light.
Technical features
Type: wall sconces
Material: brass
Number of pieces: 2
Height: 32 cm
Width: about 8 x 11.5 cm
Total weight: 1.260 kg
Lamp holder: small screw-in socket (E14 type, to be verified)
Electrical system present (not tested)
Conditions
Generally good condition given their age. They show: natural brass patina, signs of oxidation and surface wear, small imperfections and signs of time on the metal, marks on the candle-wax finish of the lamp holder. One of the two sconces is slightly misaligned.
Electrical installation to be checked. The photographs are an integral part of the description.
Trivia
This type of wall sconce is directly inspired by French models from the 18th and 19th centuries, when wall lights were designed to accommodate candles. During the 20th century, these shapes were reinterpretated in an electric form, while preserving decorative details such as the molded wax-like finish.
