Below, a tapering shaft is lined with fine horizontal ribs, finished with curled scrolls and a pointed tip. Two arms, wrapped in leaves and ending in a curl, sweep out and up to drip pans with ribbed undersides, fluted cups and candle sleeves. The style we call \"Louis XVI\" actually began before he took the throne in 1774. In the 1760s, Parisian designers were already turning away from rococo curves towards a cleaner look they called \"le goût grec\", the Greek taste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sconce is in very good vintage condition, and the old wiring reaches us as found. It has kept its sharp detail and is ready for a new wall.
