AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Pair of wall-mounted corner sconces in gilded bronze, Louis XVI style, substantial

French work, circa 1920

Superb pair of wall-mounted corner sconces in Louis XVI style, in solid gilded bronze (heavy, thick pieces, see photos with a ruler for scale). solid pieces and massive

They feature an elegant decoration of acanthus leaves and volutes, with a slender central shaft. The sockets are in ivory porcelain/bakelite. The gilding shows an authentic patina that highlights the relief of the motifs and gives them a lot of character.

Condition and important details (TO BE READ):

· For purists and collectors: These sconces have retained their original wiring, which is in perfect condition. They have been tested and illuminate perfectly. This is an ideal piece for a collection or a vintage-style interior.
· For daily use (Safety): Although the original wiring is functional, it does not meet current safety standards. Rewiring by a professional is strongly recommended if you wish to install them permanently.
· Disclaimer: The lot is sold strictly as is. As a private seller, I decline any responsibility regarding the use of the original wiring (risk of short circuit, fire, etc.). The buyer assumes full responsibility for the use of these luminaires.
· The fixing parts (screws, nuts) are visible in the photos

Shipping: Heavy and fragile package, careful shipment via Smart Shipping with insurance
