The tapering stone pedestals that held busts and urns along the walks of a formal garden were shrunk down and turned into the backplates of wall lights, still crowned with their urns. On a sconce, the tapering form leads the eye from a single point at the base up to the lights, giving the wall a calm, upright rhythm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pair of wall sconces follows that idea in the Louis XVI style. Each has a long backplate that tapers down to a pinecone-like drop at the base. It is decorated down its face with a running band of husks, the small bell-shaped flowers that Neoclassical designers threaded into garlands. At the top, a squared block carries a carved-look rosette on each face and supports a gadrooned urn with a leafy finial. From the block, two scrolled arms edged with leaves curve out to beaded drip pans and fluted candle cups holding drip-effect sleeves. Small leafy drops hang beneath the arms where they join the backplate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sconces are in good condition, with a warm gilt finish. Like every lamp we sell, they are checked in our workshop before they are sent, so they arrive ready to use. Their generous size suits a dining room, a salon or a stair landing, especially either side of a fireplace or a tall mirror.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn short, this is a vintage pair of large Louis XVI style gilt metal wall sconces, with tapering backplates, urn finials, rosettes and two lights each.
