Pair of mirror sconces in bronze - Maison Lucien Gau, Paris

Refined pair of mirror sconces in gilded bronze in the Louis XVI style, attributed to the prestigious Maison Lucien Gau, a Parisian art bronze foundry founded in 1860 and recognized for its artisanal excellence. The house notably contributed to the restoration and creation of decorative elements for iconic places such as the Sainte-Chapelle, the Hôtel de Crillon, and the Château de Beychevelle. Each sconce features a beveled oval mirror, delicately set with a beaded decoration. The whole is crowned with an elegant ribboned bow, while the lower part ends with a motif of finely sculpted leaves. The two volute light arms, also adorned with foliage and beaded friezes echoing the mirror frame, testify to a perfectly balanced composition, imbued with grace and delicacy.
