Pair of Wrought Iron Wall Sconces with Three Arms and Shield Plate. Work

Each wall sconce is organized around a molded shield wall plate, topped with a shell motif, from which three light arms in a console design with scrolls extend, ending in fluted corolla bobèches that hold faux candles. The center features a bouquet of cut iron foliage that softens the composition. The metal has a nuanced brown patina, slightly bronzed. The shield, shell, and curved arms connect this pair to the Louis XV style, whose rocaille repertoire has been extensively revisited by French decorative ironwork in the 20th century for classic interiors. The three-light format ensures generous lighting. Condition assessment: Overall good condition. Uniform usage patina, faux candles may need to be replaced depending on taste. Electricity checked by an electrician. A characterful pair to frame a trumeau, fireplace, or bookshelf.
