Pair of Gilded Wrought Iron Wall Sconces with Two Light Arms forming a Bouquet of

Each sconce unfolds from a hammered rectangular plate a burst of long, lanceolate leaves finely engraved with veins, between which snake flowering stems of naturally blooming roses and small cut leaves. Two discreet arms carry the lights in flower-shaped bobèches, integrated into the vegetal composition. The gilding, nuanced, plays with golden reflections on the hammered metal. This controlled naturalistic exuberance, where light blends into the burst decor, is characteristic of French gilded wrought iron from the 1940s, contemporary with the productions of the great Parisian workshops that made gilded iron the elegance of refined interiors. Condition report: Good overall condition. Warm patina gilding with signs of use, faux candles showing wear. Electricity checked by an electrician. A vertical and poetic pair, ideal on either side of a mirror or in a refined bedroom.
