Description
Two Louis XVI style carved giltwood wall sconces
French, 20th Century
Height 114cm, width 38cm, depth 21cm
These beautiful giltwood wall lights are designed in the style of decorative art produced in the Louis XVI period (1774-1793). This period saw the emergence of the Neoclassical style, which was characterised by its sparing and elegant use of classical forms and motifs.
The wall lights feature back-plates which are architectural in their style. The tops of the back-plates are carved with draped fabrics and bows, and their bases are decorated with stylised acanthus leaves. Each back-plate supports three short curved arms, which are carved with stylised foliage and beading. These hold wide turned drip-pans and capitals which are fitted with white candle-tubes. - More Information
