Pair of 19th Century French Sconces

Offered by: Jacqueline Adams Antiques

Description
This stunning pair of 19th-century French wall sconces embodies the grandeur and artistry of the Louis XVI style. Expertly crafted from giltwood, these sconces are designed in an elegant torch motif, symbolizing enlightenment and sophistication. The intricate carving details include a fluted central body crowned with dramatic flames, a hallmark of the neoclassical aesthetic popular during the period. The warm gilded finish highlights the exquisite craftsmanship and adds a timeless luster to the pieces.

Each sconce features two gracefully curved arms adorned with detailed acanthus leaf carvings, supporting faux candleholders that mimic the charm of traditional candlelit illumination. The flowing ribbon detail wrapped around the torch adds a sense of movement and lightness, enhancing the overall refinement of the design.
