Pair of Wrought Iron Wall lights Showing Animals

This pair of wrought iron wall lights is decorated with animal figures, giving each light a narrative, decorative character even when unlit. French work. Each wall light measures 35.5 cm wide, 12.5 cm deep and 31.5 cm high. Wrought iron, worked hot, makes it possible to draw crisp silhouettes that stand out against the wall like a graphic motif. Animal imagery holds an important place in twentieth-century French decorative ironwork, which readily combines lighting with figurative decoration. These wall lights bring a picturesque note to an entrance hall, a dining room, a country house or a child's room. Offered as a pair, they lend themselves to a symmetrical arrangement.
