{"product_id":"vintage-louis-xvi-style-single-wall-00159","title":"Vintage Louis XVI Style Single Wall Sconce with Hunting Horn Arm and Crossed Arrows","description":"\u003cp\u003eTwo arrows cross behind a small round boss, and a hunting horn curls out in front of them to hold the light. This sconce is a little piece of country-house decoration, made for a study, a hallway or a boot room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sconce is a single wall light. Two slim arrows, with feathered tails and pointed heads, pass through a half-sphere boss that fixes to the wall. The arm is shaped like a hunting horn: the mouthpiece sits below the boss, the tube coils into a scroll, and the flared bell at the top forms the cup for the light socket. Crossed arrows were a favourite motif in Louis XVI decoration. They were borrowed from Cupid, whose arrows stood for love, and often appeared with quivers, torches and ribbons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sconce is in good vintage condition. The gilding is worn, with darker spots and the base metal showing through in places. The old wiring reaches us as found. It has plenty of years of service left. It suits a narrow wall beside a door, or a pair of shelves where one light is enough.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHorn-and-arrow sconce: a vintage Louis XVI style single wall sconce with a hunting horn arm and crossed arrows, rewired in our workshop and ready to install.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDETAILS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: H 24 cm (9.4 in) · W 12 cm (4.7 in) · D 14 cm (5.5 in) · about the size of a dinner plate standing on edge\u003cbr\u003e\nMaterial: metal with a worn gilt finish\u003cbr\u003e\nStyle-Period: Louis XVI style · early to mid 20th century\u003cbr\u003e\nWeight: 418 g (0.9 lb)\u003cbr\u003e\nShipping: professionally packed, fully insured, worldwide · we handle the paperwork and pay all import duties · nothing to settle on delivery\u003cbr\u003e\nElectrical: fully rewired in our workshop before dispatch · delivered working and ready to install · wall installation by a qualified electrician recommended\u003cbr\u003e\nCondition: good vintage condition · worn gilding, with darker spots and the base metal showing in places\u003cbr\u003e\nLampshade: Sold without a shade — a small clip-on shade suits it\u003cbr\u003e\nReturns: accepted within 30 days\u003cbr\u003e\nSold as: a single sconce\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maison Jaspers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59755380801881,"sku":"LM-E-324","price":356.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1063\/5388\/5529\/files\/il_fullxfull.8637056336_qtsx.jpg?v=1791365355","url":"https:\/\/maisonjaspers.com\/products\/vintage-louis-xvi-style-single-wall-00159","provider":"Maison Jaspers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
