Pair of wall sconces with swans and torches in Empire style - gilded bronze.

Superb pair of two-light wall sconces in Empire style, dating from the second half of the 20th century. Made of bronze. Original gilding in very good condition, showing a beautiful patina of time. The wall part is adorned with a torch topped with a flame, embellished with palmettes and leafy motifs. The light arms represent chimerical swans with outstretched wings, whose bodies extend into twisted fish tails, elegantly curled in volutes. Their long curved necks support the candle holders. An emblematic motif of the Empire ornamental repertoire, the swan, traditionally appreciated for the grace of its lines, is here reinterpreted in a particularly original hybrid form. The chiseling, done by hand, is particularly meticulous, especially in the details of the swans. Electricity installed and tested, with new wires (for E14 bulbs). Nice cardboard candles, in perfect condition. Careful packaging ensured via recommended Colissimo delivery to your home.
