Description from the seller
Impressive pair of six-light wall sconces in gilded metal and brown walnut – Louis XV style – c. 1900. A striking pair of wall sconces, each with six lights, crafted in gilded metal and worked, mounted on elegant carved panels in brown walnut. The metal framework features rich vegetal-inspired decoration, with acanthus leaves, scrolls, flowers, garlands, and spiral elements. The sinuous arms terminate in ornate circular sconces and candle-shaped sockets, giving the ensemble a theatrical and sophisticated presence. The wooden panels, elongated and curved in shape, display a raised moulding and striking natural grain, creating a very elegant decorative contrast with the gold tone of the metal. Given their generous dimensions and ornamental richness, this pair is particularly suited to a large living room, entrance hall, staircase, hotel, restaurant, or a classical decor project. Pieces produced between the late 19th and early 20th centuries, in the Louis XV style. Approximate dimensions of each sconce: Height: 80 cm. The lot comprises the two sconces shown in the photographs.
