Large pair of Louis XVI style wall sconces from the 19th century - gilded bronze - 36 cm

Beautiful pair of large two-light wall sconces in Louis XVI style, dating from the second half of the 19th century. Made of bronze. Gilding in generally good condition, showing some small dark spots in places. The wall part is richly adorned with foliage and acanthus leaves, ending with an elegant water leaf motif. The light arms, delicately fluted, feature a decoration of flowers, oak leaves, and acanthus leaves. The bobeches are also richly decorated with leafy patterns. The elongated silhouette of the sconces and the decorative elements highlight the harmony of the Louis XVI style. The chiseling, done by hand, reflects particularly fine and careful workmanship, down to the smallest details of the ornaments. Note some visible defects in the last photos: a missing petal on one flower, slight deformations in the lower part of one sconce as well as an ornament in acanthus leaves, and a few missing ornaments (marked with red circles). These imperfections remain discreet and do not detract from the overall harmony of the piece. Electricity installed and tested, with new wires (for E14 bulbs). Cardboard candles, in very good condition. Careful packaging guaranteed. Dimensions: Height: 36.00 cm Width: 27.00 cm Depth: 14.00 cm Total weight: 2.40 kg
