Wall sconce (2) - Bronze

Beautiful pair of chased gilt-bronze wall sconces with a vegetal motif, used in grand salons during the Bourbon era and the Neoclassical period. They are of exceptional quality and workmanship, in the Napoleon III style, with faces of pagan deities from the classical world, as used in antiquity. In an 18th-century style, they are decorated in repoussé with a leaf motif and scrolls on the central body, with wall mounts. Both have been electrified; the fittings and wiring are original, and I chose to preserve everything in order to sell an original piece. However, simply changing the fitting will make them work. The two-bulb holders are set in the respective bud-shaped sockets. Very beautiful period pieces, with some imperfections, early 1900s.
Each sconce measures 40 cm high, 30 cm wide, and 13 cm deep. Very heavy: the pair weighs 2,364 g. They will be professionally packaged.
