This pair was made for that kind of symmetry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach sconce has a tapering fluted shaft with small hanging leaf drops and a pointed leaf finial at the base. At the top is a flared crest shaped like a bundle of feathers, set above a small rosette. Two leafy scrolled arms curve out from the shaft, and each ends in a ribbed drip pan with a beaded edge and a cream candle sleeve. Many French sconces of this kind were cast in régule, also called spelter. It's a zinc alloy that foundries used from the 1800s as a cheaper alternative to bronze: it takes fine detail well but is lighter and softer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sconces are in good vintage condition, with light wear and a soft patina. The old wiring reaches us as found. They have been kept together as a pair and are ready for their next room. They suit a bedroom, an entrance hall or a living room wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGilt pair summary: two gilt metal two-arm sconces with a fluted shaft, a feathered crest and beaded drip pans, rewired and sold as a pair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDETAILS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: H 33 cm (13.0 in) · W 26 cm (10.2 in) · D 13 cm (5.1 in) — each a little taller than a wine bottle\u003cbr\u003e\nMaterial: gilt metal\u003cbr\u003e\nStyle-Period: Louis XVI style · mid 20th century\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 · light wear and patina\u003cbr\u003e\nLampshade: Sold without shades — small clip-on shades suit them\u003cbr\u003e\nReturns: accepted within 30 days\u003cbr\u003e\nSold as a pair\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maison Jaspers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59734439428441,"sku":"LM-V-647","price":625.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1063\/5388\/5529\/files\/il_fullxfull.8674981315_4acz.jpg?v=1791292157","url":"https:\/\/maisonjaspers.com\/products\/vintage-pair-of-louis-xvi-style-gilt-56026","provider":"Maison Jaspers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
