PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

This set of four Louis XVI style chiseled bronze wall sconces is a remarkable ensemble piece, combining the ornamental vocabulary of 18th-century France with a modernist touch entirely characteristic of the 1930s. The bows and ribbons — emblematic motifs of the Louis XVI style that graced the mirrors, consoles, and sconces of the great 18th-century houses — are here chiseled with care in bronze, bearing witness to craftsmanship of the highest order.

The domed oval chrome element introduces a deliberately modern note into this neoclassical ensemble, highly representative of the dialogue between classicism and Art Deco that defined French decoration of the 1930s. The marriage of patinated bronze and brilliant chrome creates a subtle contrast that lends these sconces a particular sophistication — simultaneously rooted in tradition and unmistakably of their era. Their dimensions — 27 × 10.5 × 44.5 cm — allow them to command attention without overwhelming a space.

Offered as a complete set of four identical examples, these sconces are ideal for bringing coherence and elegance to a reception room, drawing room, or corridor. Complete sets of four are increasingly rare, making this an exceptional opportunity for any lover of classical French decoration from this refined and distinctive period.
