One was the girandole: a wall light hung with glass drops. Each drop works like a small prism, catching the flame and scattering it around the room in sparkles and flashes of colour. The idea was so beautiful that it has been loved ever since, long after candles gave way to bulbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pair of girandole wall sconces is attributed to the nineteenth century. Each one has a gilt metal backplate cast with scrolls and leaves, holding a single candle-style light. Two curved arms rise above the light and two sweep out below it, each hung with faceted glass drops on small glass rosettes. More drops hang from the bobèche, the small dish beneath the candle. When the lights are on, the drops throw dancing points of light across the wall, just as they were designed to do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sconces are in good condition. Like every lamp we sell, they are checked in our workshop before they are sent, so they arrive ready to use. They bring a soft, romantic sparkle to a bedroom, a dining room or either side of a mirror.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn short, this is a vintage pair of single-light girandole wall sconces in gilt metal with faceted glass drops, attributed to the nineteenth century.
