This pair keeps that quiet, functional elegance, each arm curving out from the wall in one continuous gesture before rising to its shaded flame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a pair of single-arm wall sconces in gilt metal, each arm cast as a fluid S-scroll rising from a small oval backplate to a candle-style socket dressed with a pleated ivory-white fabric shade. The scrolling profile draws on a long-running French decorative vocabulary in which the light fitting itself becomes a piece of linear sculpture, rather than a plain bracket dressed up afterward. We describe the metal conservatively as gilt metal rather than bronze, since no alloy stamp or maker's mark is visible in the photograph supplied, though the seller notes the pieces are cast as solid, not hollow, fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey reach us as a well-matched pair, both arms sound and both sockets in working order, with the gilding showing the soft, even wear expected of genuine age rather than a recent refinish. We pass them on as received, their surface left honest rather than re-gilded. Mounted either side of a mirror, headboard, or doorway, the pair restores exactly the kind of symmetry these fittings were designed to create.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn plain terms: a pair of French gilt metal wall sconces, no date claimed, each standing about as tall as a wine bottle with its shade on, fitted with widely available B22 sockets and rewired for safe, ready-to-use lighting, with pleated shades included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDETAILS:\u003cbr\u003e\nSize: each approx. 21 cm high without shade (8.25 inches); 31 cm high with shade (12.25 inches); backplate approx. 2.5 cm wide (1 inch); 14 cm deep from wall (5.5 inches) — about as tall as a wine bottle with its shade on\u003cbr\u003e\nMaterial: gilt metal, described by seller as solid cast\u003cbr\u003e\nStyle-Period: 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 antique condition; gilding with soft even age wear, both arms sound, sockets in working order\u003cbr\u003e\nLampshade: pleated fabric shades included as shown\u003cbr\u003e\nReturns: accepted within 30 days.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maison Jaspers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59482060816729,"sku":"LGT-WAL-050","price":436.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1063\/5388\/5529\/files\/il_fullxfull.8590838263_qad4.jpg?v=1789757952","url":"https:\/\/maisonjaspers.com\/products\/pair-of-antique-french-gilt-metal-wall-78468","provider":"Maison Jaspers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
