{"product_id":"vintage-pair-of-louis-xv-style-08652","title":"Vintage Pair of Louis XV Style Single-Light Wall Sconces, Gilt Metal Scrolls and Shell Bobèches, Candle Lights, 25 cm","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Louis XV style is known for its graceful curves and for one motif above all: the shell. French designers of the eighteenth century, inspired by the shell-covered grottoes of royal gardens, used the coquille, or shell, on furniture, mirrors and light fittings. It became the signature of the Rocaille style, and it gives these pieces their lively, natural charm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pair of wall sconces is in that Louis XV style. Each one is a single flowing piece: a scrolled backplate in gilt metal that tapers down to a pointed leaf tip below. A short arm curves out from it to hold a wide, shell-shaped bobèche with a leafy candle cup above. A candle-style sleeve completes each sconce, giving them the look of an eighteenth-century candle light. Each sconce carries one light, making them ideal for a narrow wall or either side of a bed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sconces are in good vintage condition, with a bright gilt finish. The candle sleeves show signs of age. Like every lamp we sell, they are checked in our workshop before they are sent, so they arrive ready to use. They suit a bedroom, a hallway or a small salon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn short, this is a vintage pair of Louis XV style single-light wall sconces in gilt metal, with scrolled backplates, shell bobèches and candle lights.
