Pair of large caryatid wall sconces in Louis XV style from the 19th century - gilded bronze.

Very beautiful pair of large wall sconces in the Louis XV style, dating from the second half of the 19th century. Made of bronze. Original gilding in very good condition, showing a nice shine. The wall parts are adorned with draped female caryatids, carrying baskets of flowers and fruits on their heads. The two caryatids have different attitudes and decorations, forming a true complementary pair, a rare and particularly decorative feature. The lower part is embellished with bouquets of flowers and acanthus leaf cascades. The light arms, elegantly curved, are decorated with acanthus leaves and scrolls, characteristic of the Louis XV style. One of the sconces bears the stamp "GB" on the back (see last photo). They are electrified and tested, with a new electrical system (for E14 bulbs). Plastic candles in perfect condition. Careful packaging guaranteed via recommended Colissimo delivery to your home.
