Large pair of wall sconces with winged caryatids in Empire style - gilded bronze.
Superb pair of large Empire-style wall sconces, made in the second half of the 20th century. Made of bronze. Original gilding, in very good condition, with a beautiful patina of time. The wall parts each represent an elegant caryatid with outstretched wings, arms raised to support a urn above its head. The female figures have a slender silhouette, dressed in a long tunic with finely worked drapery. The widely spread wings emphasize the verticality and architectural character of the composition. The two light arms extend horizontally on either side of the caryatids, forming a slightly curved structure, adorned with a frieze of palmettes. The ends of the light arms are embellished with pine cone motifs, while the sconces feature finely chiseled decoration. A decorative ensemble of great elegance, characteristic of the neoclassical repertoire of the Empire style, combining winged figures, plant motifs, and symmetrical architectural composition. The bronzes exhibit careful chiseling, particularly visible in the details of the wings, drapery, and ornamental friezes. They are electrified and tested (for E14 bulb). New plastic candles.
