Art Deco wall lights in silvered bronze by Peuch & Besse

Magnificent pair of wall sconces from the Art Deco period (1930s), from the prestigious Parisian art foundry Peuch & Besse. The solid cast bronze frame features a superb geometric pyramidal diamond decoration typical of the modernist movement of that decade. Each wall plate is stamped with the foundry's mark in relief "P B" under the arms next to the fixing hole (see photos). The original silvering has a beautiful colour and shine with a slight patina of time here and there. The original "skyscraper" globes are made of pressed opaline in straw yellow/amber colour. Their fluted and faceted shape diffuses a warm light and creates a striking contrast with the shiny silver of the bronze. Very good overall condition (reasonable patina of time), compatible with bayonet bulbs (B22). Height: 27cm Width: 12.5cm Depth: 19cm. Fast and careful shipping.
