Wall sconce - Cast brass - Antique wall sconce

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.
