AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Impressive pair of six-light wall sconces in gilt metal and brown wood – Louis XV style – c. 1900.
Impressive pair of wall sconces, each with six light arms, made in gilt, worked metal, mounted on elegant cut-out brown wood plaques.
The metal framework features rich vegetal-inspired decoration, with acanthus leaves, scrolls, flowers, garlands and spiral elements.
The sinuous arms end in ornate circular sconces and candle-shaped sockets, giving the ensemble a theatrical and sophisticated presence.
The wooden plaques, elongated and curvilinear in shape, feature a raised frame and strongly marked natural grain, creating a very elegant decorative contrast with the gilt metal tone.
Due to its generous dimensions and ornate richness, this pair is especially suitable for a large room, entrance hall, staircase, hotel, restaurant or a classical decorating project.
Pieces produced between the late 19th and early 20th century, in Louis XV style.
Approximate dimensions of each sconce: Height: 80 cm.
The lot consists of the two sconces shown in the photographs.
