{"product_id":"pair-of-french-gilt-bronze-double-arm-92266","title":"Pair of French Gilt Bronze Double Arm Wall Sconces, Neoclassical Urn Form — France, Early 20th Century","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe urn-form wall sconce belongs to the neoclassical tradition that France never entirely abandoned. From the Louis XVI period onward, the inverted trumpet or vase body — fluted, acanthus-chased, topped with a finial — became the most authoritative backplate form a French foundry could offer: architectural in its proportions, restrained in its ornament, and scaled to fill a wall without overwhelming it. The best examples from the early twentieth century were cast with the same discipline as their eighteenth-century predecessors, because the foundries that made them were working from the same patterns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pair is French, early twentieth century, each sconce built around a substantial inverted trumpet body in gilt bronze, its surface chased with vertical acanthus panels rising to a beaded collar and a faceted urn finial at the crown. Two scroll arms sweep outward from the base of the body, each chased along its upper face with a bead-and-reel border and terminating in a fluted trumpet socket that mirrors the main body in miniature — the repetition of the trumpet form at arm and body both, the detail that gives the piece its compositional logic. The gilt has a warm, even brass tone across both sconces, consistent with careful indoor use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhoever lit their rooms with these before you kept the bronzes in good general order. Both sconces are sound and well matched. They arrive fully rewired and ready to use — the socket fittings will be secured and checked before dispatch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey arrive professionally packed and fully insured.
