Louis XVI Style Wall Sconces Pair, Gilt Copper Single Arm Sconces with Pinecone Finials — French

The pinecone is one of the Louis XVI style's quiet signatures — the classical world's emblem of hospitality, set at the top and foot of countless French wall fittings as a host's greeting cast in metal. Sconces in this taste were made for the panelled rooms of France in facing pairs, one candle each, their backplates shaped like little balusters so that even unlit they furnished the wall.

This pair is French, in the Louis XVI style, in gilt copper: each sconce a baluster-form backplate worked with leaf-wrapped gadroons and husks, crowned and finished with cast pinecone finials, carrying a single scrolled acanthus arm that sweeps down and forward to a fluted, petal-rimmed drip pan and candle sleeve. Hold one in the hand and turn the backplate — at over six hundred grams apiece the castings are substantial, and the pinecones are cut with their scales individually defined, the small extravagance that separates furnishing bronzework from stamped hardware. The pair reaches us unwired and is fully electrified through our workshop before dispatch, arriving prepared for wall installation, in working order.

The gilt surfaces carry the pretty imperfections of time and use, as the source's own honest phrase has it and the photographs show. Whoever faced these two across a room before you kept the pair together. They are ready to flank a mirror, a bed, or a dining room chimney.

The pair is gilt copper, over a kilogram together, newly electrified before dispatch. It arrives professionally packed and fully insured — we handle the paperwork and worldwide shipping, with all import duties paid by us, so there is nothing to settle on delivery. Returns are accepted within 30 days.
