{"product_id":"set-of-four-french-gilt-bronze-wall-39308","title":"Set of Four French Gilt Bronze Wall Sconces, Louis XVI Bow and Quiver — France, Early 20th Century","description":"\u003cp\u003eA set of four matching sconces is one of the rarer finds in antique lighting — pairs are common, but four identical examples in the same patina and condition, available together, is the kind of discovery that allows a dining room or a hallway to be finished properly rather than approximately. The Louis XVI bow sconce, with its knotted ribbon crest and tapered quiver body, was designed precisely for this kind of symmetrical installation: four lights distributed evenly across a wall, each one a vertical composition that reads individually and as part of a whole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis set is French, early twentieth century, cast in gilt bronze in the Louis XVI manner, all four sconces matching in form, patina, and scale. Each is built around a tapered quiver backplate chased with acanthus leaf ornament, terminating at the base in a pendant drop finial, and crowned at the top with a cast ribbon bow — loops open, ends trailing, the individual cord strands modelled with enough depth to cast their own shadows. A single arm extends from the body at mid-height, curving outward to a fluted socket cup and scalloped bobèche. Note how the bow sits proud of the backplate rather than flush against it — cast in the round rather than in relief, the detail that separates a foundry working with proper tooling from one cutting costs on the moulding. The gilt is warm and consistent across all four pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhoever lit their rooms with these before you kept the set intact and in good order across all four sconces. They arrive fully rewired and ready to use — a complete set ready for a dining room, a hallway, or a pair of facing walls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey arrive professionally packed and fully insured.
