Vintage Gilt Bronze Wall Sconce Pair, Double Arm with Frosted Glass Shades — French Style, 1950s

By the mid-twentieth century, French-style lighting had settled into a familiar formula for rooms that wanted presence without excess: gilt bronze scrollwork carrying real weight, paired with softly diffusing glass rather than bare bulbs. A double-arm sconce built to this formula did double duty — decorative sculpture on the wall by day, warm ambient light by night.
This pair, French in style and dating to the 1950s, follows that formula at generous scale.

Each sconce carries two curved gilt bronze arms rising from a dark teal-accented center, terminating in frosted glass shades with a softly bulbous, tulip-like form. Note how the scrollwork at the base of each arm is modeled with real depth and shadow rather than a flat stamped outline — the kind of substantial casting that gives these sconces their noticeable weight and presence. A gilt spear-form finial drops below each center, finishing the silhouette.

Whoever hung this pair before you kept them well. The gilt bronze shows minor, honest wear consistent with age, and both frosted glass shades are included and intact. They are ready for a bedroom, hallway, or living room wall, singly or together.
