{"product_id":"mid-century-french-style-brass-scroll-96864","title":"Mid-Century French Style Brass Scroll Wall Sconce — Two-Arm Curled Wall Light","description":"\u003cp\u003eBy the middle of the twentieth century, French wall lighting had traded candle-form symmetry for something looser — a single sinuous line of metal, coiled rather than carved, doing the work that acanthus and scrollwork once did by hand. This sconce belongs to that later idiom, closer to a line drawing in metal than to the dense ornament of the century before.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a two-arm wall sconce with a pair of open, curled brass scrolls springing from a small oval backplate, each terminating in a socket cup — the coiling itself is the ornament here, a technique sometimes called wirework scroll, where a single rod is bent into its final shape rather than cast. A slender blackened metal stem threads up through the centre of the two brass curls, giving the piece a two-tone contrast between polished scroll and darker armature. We describe the metal conservatively as gilt metal on a patinated metal backplate, since no maker's mark or alloy stamp is visible in the photograph supplied.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt reaches us as a single sconce rather than a pair, with both scroll arms intact and the backplate sound. We pass it on ready for its next room rather than restored beyond what was needed. Mounted beside a mirror, a doorway, or on its own above a console, its open curls read as well on their own as they would flanking a second fixture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn plain terms: a single French-style mid-century brass scroll wall sconce, no date claimed, standing about as tall as a bowling pin, fitted with B22 sockets, rewired for safe use, and sold without shades so you can choose your own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDETAILS:\u003cbr\u003e\nSize: approx. 35 cm high x 22 cm wide x 10 cm deep from wall (13.75 x 8.75 x 4 inches); backplate approx. 9 cm wide (3.5 inches) — about the size of a small saucer — overall about as tall as a bowling pin\u003cbr\u003e\nMaterial: gilt metal scrolls on patinated metal backplate\u003cbr\u003e\nStyle-Period: mid-century French style, no date claimed\u003cbr\u003e\nShipping: professionally packed, fully insured, worldwide — we handle the paperwork, with all import duties paid by us; nothing to settle on delivery.\u003cbr\u003e\nElectrical: fully rewired through our workshop before dispatch, B22 fitting, plug or adapter fitted for the buyer's country, delivered working and ready to use.\u003cbr\u003e\nCondition: good vintage condition; both scroll arms intact, backplate sound, ready to rewire and mount\u003cbr\u003e\nLampshade: sold without shades — leaving you free to choose small clip-on shades that suit your room\u003cbr\u003e\nReturns: accepted within 30 days.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maison Jaspers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59482061603161,"sku":"LGT-WAL-048","price":320.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1063\/5388\/5529\/files\/il_fullxfull.8590602927_i4an.jpg?v=1789757955","url":"https:\/\/maisonjaspers.com\/products\/mid-century-french-style-brass-scroll-96864","provider":"Maison Jaspers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
