French Set of Four Louis XV Style Bronze Wall Sconces

Offered by: Fireside Antiques

Description
Dimensions: 13” H x 5 ¾” W x 6 ⅜” D

An exceptional grouping of four early 20th century Louis XV-style wall sconces, made of gilt bronze sculpted into the most elegant acanthus and rococo forms. Designed to mirror each other in pairs, two fixtures are oriented to the left and two on the right, each light is illuminated by a candelabra base bulb. The unfurling leaves create dynamic, implied movement in their gentle curls (not a right-angle to be found) that come alive by shadow & light. Professionally cleaned and rewired for US electrical using UL-listed parts; the cords shown are meant to be temporary until installation. Sold as a set of four. Please view the detailed images to see the current condition as they are an essential part of the description. One of the right-oriented fixtures is missing a lobe on the top acanthus leaf.
