Pair of Louis XV Rococo style gilt bronze wall sconces

The two wall lights in this pair are crafted from gilt bronze in the Rococo style of Louis XV. Each light features a sinuously formed backplate modelled as a spray of acanthus leaves, which supports three foliate candle branches, each moulded with grasping acanthus leaves. Each branch terminates in a gilt bronze candle holder and drip pan.
