20th Century French Pair of Gilt Bronze Wall Sconces – Rococo Style with Crystal Pendants
Elegant pair of French two-light wall sconces in the Louis XV Rococo style, dating from the 20th century. These decorative lights combine richly detailed gilt metalwork with delicate crystal pendants, creating a refined and timeless appearance.

Each sconce features graceful scrolling arms, sculpted acanthus leaves and floral candleholders. Transparent crystal drops, suspended from delicate flower-shaped rosettes, beautifully complement the warm golden finish.
