gold-plated bronze dragonfly appliqués in Art Nouveau style by Maison Charles R

Very pretty pair of Art Nouveau wall lights. Made of bronze by the Parisian company Charles Ranc, founded in 1909 by the Ardéchois Charles Eugène Frédéric Ranc at 64 Rue de la Folie Méricourt. The Ranc company is distinguished by the quality of its bronzes and the fine work of chiselling. A beautiful production of lighting fixtures that continued with his sons after the founder's death. The Charles Ranc company then became Ranc Frères. The company's address was transferred in 1930 to 97 Rue Oberkampf in Paris. The stamp is affixed to the back of the wall lights (see last photo). Gilding in superb condition with a beautiful shine. The wall part is decorated with foliage and a dragonfly. Supplied with translucent tulips, made of glass, of recent manufacture; in perfect condition. Electricity installed and tested, new wires (for E14 bulb). Dimensions: total height: 24.70 cm. Total depth: 19.00 cm. Width of the wall part: 6.70 cm. Diameter of the tulips: 12.00 cm.
