Pair of two-light sconces in finely chiseled and mercury-gilded bronze.
The scrolling sconces are adorned with foliage and terminate in twisted fluted sockets adorned with asparagus-shaped rudentures.
The baseplate is decorated with foliage, acanthus, and pearls, and terminates at the base with a garland of laurel foliage topped with a pine cone.
Characteristic of the neoclassical style specific to Louis XVI decor, these sconces are similar to the work of bronze makers such as Feuchère or Gouthière.
Very beautiful mercury gilding with matte and glossy finishes over fine chasing.
Parisian work from the Louis XVI period, late 18th century.
Previously pierced for electrification.
