Description from the seller
A characteristic, antique three-armed wall sconce (wall lamp) in the elegant Neoclassical Louis XVI style. This atmospheric piece was made around the turn of the century (c. 1880-1920) in France. The wall sconce is crafted from heavy, solid cast brass (yelllow copper) using the traditional sand-casting method. The backplate is beautifully shaped as a classical, fluted column, which at the bottom gracefully tapers into a detailed bunch of grapes with leaves. The three gracefully curled arms feature classical drip trays beneath the candle holders. On the rear, the authentic construction is clearly visible; the arms are still firmly mounted with the original, hand-forged square iron nuts from that period. The sconce is in a lovely antique condition with a fine, natural patina that emphasizes the piece’s age. A stunning and decorative object that immediately adds a classic French elegance to any interior. Specifications Style: Louis XVI style (Neoclassical) Estimated period: Circa 1900 (Belle Époque / Napoleon III) Country of origin: France Material: Cast brass (yellow copper) Number of light points: 3 (suitable for dinner candles) Condition: Good antique condition with normal signs of aging and an authentic patina. The construction is sturdy. Shipping The item is packed very carefully and securely to prevent any damage during transport. Shipping is carried out including Track & Trace and insurance.
