AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Beautiful pair of chiseled gilt-bronze wall sconces with a foliage motif, used in grand salons during the Bourbon era and the Neoclassical period. They are of very fine quality and workmanship, with an eighteenth-century look, embossed with a leaf motif and scrollwork on the central body, and fitted with wall mounts. Both have been wired for electricity. The sockets and wiring are original; I chose to preserve everything so as to sell the item in its original condition. Simply changing the sockets will make them work. The three-light bulb fittings are set in their respective, very beautiful period bud-shaped holders. Imperfections. Early 20th century.
Each sconce measures 40 cm high, 30 cm wide and 13 cm deep. The pair is very heavy, weighing 3,205 g. They will be professionally packed.
