{"product_id":"bronze-wall-sconce-empire-quiver-form-10956","title":"Bronze Wall Sconce, Empire Quiver Form with Three Arms — 20th Century","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe quiver sconce — a horizontal torch or arrow-bundle mounted to the wall, from which candle arms descend — is one of the most specifically Empire of all lighting forms. Napoleon's designers lifted it directly from Roman military imagery: the quiver of arrows, the bound fasces, the torch held horizontally as a standard rather than raised as a flame. Mounted on the wall of a dining room or a grand salon, it read as both ornament and declaration, and the best examples from the Paris foundries were cast with the precision that the imagery demanded.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis sconce is twentieth century, cast in bronze in the Empire manner. The body is a horizontal fluted shaft — the quiver — enriched along its length with chased laurel and berry ornament and terminating at the right in a pine-cone finial. Note how the three arms are distributed vertically rather than radially — the arrangement that gives the quiver sconce its distinctive silhouette, vertical on the wall rather than spreading like a conventional backplate sconce, and the detail that makes it work equally well in a narrow space between two windows or doors. The gilt is warm and even throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhoever lit their room with this before you kept it in fine order. The bronze is sound; the casting is crisp; the arms are firm. It arrives fully rewired and ready to use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt arrives professionally packed and fully insured.
