Pair of French Empire Bronze Wall Lights with Glass Bobeches, Crystal Swags and Drops

Pair of French Empire Bronze Wall Lights with Glass Bobeches, Crystal Swags & Drops. Crafted in richly patinated bronze, each sconce features a beautifully detailed backplate crowned with a classic plume motif, an iconic element of the Empire Era. From the backplate extend two gracefully scrolled arms, each adorned with acanthus leaf accents. The arms culminate in round candle drip holders fitted with delicate cut glass bobeches, designed to catch and reflect light with subtle brilliance. Completing the composition, each sconce is embellished with elegant swags of crystal beads and faceted droplets, which shimmer beautifully when illuminated, enhancing the overall sense of opulence and refinement. The lights have twin core braided wiring and each sconce takes 2 small screw-in bulbs E14s. Good vintage condition with surface wear and deep aged patina to the bronze. The candle drips show age-related wear and marks at the tops and some discolouration. Crystals are assorted sizes and in good vintage condition. There is a hanging bar on the back of each sconce to fix the sconce to the wall after wiring. Wall fittings not included.
