Pair of Belle Époque Brass Wall SconcesCrown-Form Pierced Shade Holders, Late 19th/Early 20th Century

The crown was a favored motif in Belle Époque decorative brass, a small flourish of grandeur perfectly suited to an age that loved gilt, glitter, and the theatre of a well-lit room. These sconces wear that motif openly, each pierced crown-form shade holder crowning a single reeded arm that sweeps gently outward from a fluted, sunburst-patterned backplate. Paris and provincial France alike filled their salons and hallways with fittings like this one through the final years of the nineteenth century and the opening ones of the twentieth, a period defined by exactly this kind of confident ornament. Mounted as a pair, they bring that same sense of occasion into a home today, equally suited to a period interior or a room that mixes eras with confidence.

Each sconce has a single reeded brass arm curving upward from a round, fluted backplate with a sunburst pattern, terminating in a pierced, crown-form shade holder. The brass shows light traces of age and handling consistent with its period, and both sconces in the pair share the same form and detailing.

This is offered as a matched pair of wall sconces, sold without shades, fully rewired and ready to use.
