Pair of Empire style wall sconces in gilded bronze and Empire green, mid

Pair of Empire-style wall sconces in gilded bronze and Empire green, mid-20th century. This exceptional pair of two-armed wall sconces is a masterful illustration of the Empire style (French neoclassical). Combining the robustness of bronze with the finesse of classical ornaments, they will add a touch of distinction and historical elegance to any room. Design and symbolism: The central axis features a refined classical palmette, a symbol of victory and ascension. The arms are finely sculpted in the shape of a swan's neck, an emblematic motif of the Napoleonic era, symbolising grace and refinement. Made of cast bronze, they showcase an antique gold finish and a natural patina that highlights the reliefs. The central base is adorned with Empire green (dark green) details, creating the most emblematic chromatic contrast of this style. Arms: Two arms per sconce (four light points in total). Candle holders: Covers imitating the effect of dripping wax, for a vintage and authentic charm. In good condition. Dimensions: 29 cm height X 22 cm width X 15 cm depth.
