Pair of gilded bronze sconces in Directoire/Empire style

Great originality for this pair of carved sconces, of directoire / empire style, in bronze with an unusual drawing of a woman with a draped body and two arms of light held by a frieze of heart rays, the barrel in the shape of a winged woman, urn on the head. The work of detail is admirable to represent freedom, strong symbolic of the directorial era taking up the revolutionary theme. The work of this pair of sconces is exceptional.**h40 X d35**.
