Art Nouveau Wall Sconce in Brass and Carved Wood – Art Nouveau, France, c. 1900 Elegant articulated wall candle holder combining a cast brass swing arm with a finely carved wooden backplate in floral and foliate motifs. The brass arm features organic lines and stylized buds typical of early French Art Nouveau craftsmanship. The wooden mount is hand-carved with symmetrical floral reliefs and scrolls, emphasizing the naturalistic aesthetic of the period. Dimensions: Height 25 cm, Width 20 cm, Depth 28 cm. In very good condition, with light signs of age and patina consistent with use. The hinge mechanism operates smoothly, and the brass surface retains its original warm tone. It represents the transitional moment between decorative historicism and the organic modernism of the early 20th century. The combination of cast brass and hand-carved hardwood demonstrates advanced artisanal skill and artistic intent. All mechanical parts remain intact and functional, and the surface patina enhances its authenticity and period character. Such well-preserved mixed-material candle holders from this era are increasingly scarce, making this an important example of French decorative arts. #artdeco #industrialstyle #vintage #antique #antiques #vintagedecor #homedecor #interiordesign #decor #vintagefinds #vintagestyle #antiquefurniture #retro #interior #idea #artnouveau #brass #candleholder #frenchdesign #walllamp
