A Fantastic Large Pair Antique French Ormolu Three-branch Wall Lights, Circa 1880

£4,500    $6,073    €5,254
A large and imposing pair of antique French ormolu three-branch wall lights, circa 1880, in the Louis XV Rococo manner. Cast with exceptional fluidity and weight, each applique rises from a sweeping C-scroll backplate through a cascade of acanthus leaves, flowering branches, and naturalistic foliage to three scrolling candle arms, each terminating in a foliate drip pan and bayonet lamp fitting.
 
The scale of these pieces is considerable - at 75cm tall and 55cm wide they command a room in a way photographs cannot fully convey. The casting quality is of a high order: the acanthus work is crisp and deeply modelled throughout, with the characteristic asymmetry and movement that defines authentic Rococo bronzework of this period. The pieces have been adapted for electricity and will require rewiring to current UK standards prior to use.
 
A rare opportunity to acquire a large-scale matched pair in original condition. Pieces of this size and quality are seldom found together.
