Product Description

A decorative and rare matching trio set of three antique French wall lights (appliques murales) in the classic Louis XV Rococo taste, dating back to circa 1930. Sourcing a true matching set of three period sconces is increasingly difficult in the antique trade, making this set highly desirable for atypical or asymmetrical layout designs in period properties and country home restorations.

Each twin-arm wall sconce is finely cast in heavy brass, presenting an elegant scrolling foliate design layered with authentic acanthus leaf details. The metalwork retains its original gilded finish, exhibiting a warm, rich gold ormolu patina that highlights decades of natural age. The scrolling double branches stem outwards seamlessly from the central columns, supporting foliate drip trays (bobeches) and clean cream electric candle sleeves.

With a slim wall projection of just 3.5 inches, this trio is beautifully scaled to add architectural presence without crowding a space. They are perfectly suited for lighting a traditional British staircase (positioning two on a main landing and the third at a staircase turn), illuminating narrow entrance hallways, or flanking a single bathroom vanity mirror and its adjacent alcove wall.

Every fixture has been meticulously overhauled, rewired with premium three-core cable, and PAT tested by our in-house lighting restorers. They comply fully with UK electrical domestic safety regulations and arrive ready for immediate installation by your qualified electrician.

All our chandeliers, lanterns and wall lights come with aged screws or fittings.

Date of Manufacture

Hodgson Antiques has dated these French Brass Wall Sconces to the 1930s.

Dealers Notes

"Heritage Quality Without the High Street Mark-up"

Hodgson Antiques (www.hodgsonantiques.co.uk) has been in the antique trade and dealing independently since 2012. Based in Derbyshire countryside operating solely online, we specialise in antique and vintage lighting, table lamps, ceiling lights, chandeliers, wall lights and lanterns together with some selectively sourced decorative items. We source items from around the UK, Europe and the rest of the world.

We believe that acquiring exceptional, fully restored period lighting shouldn't require paying premium high-street showroom prices. By operating entirely online and focusing our resources into our own dedicated restoration workshop, we have completely reimagined the traditional antique gallery model. We have a significant structural pricing advantage over traditional brick-and-mortar storefronts, which enables us to offer the exact high quality and meticulous restoration you find in the high street showrooms – delivered directly from our workshop at transparent competitive trade prices passing substantial savings onto our customers.

All our antique lights are fully overhauled, professionally cleaned, rewired and PAT tested to UK standards ready for installation. They are supplied with period-style matching aged fixing brass screws, fittings.

Our lighting is safely wrapped in heavy-duty protective packaging and dispatched the next day via premium tracked courier within mainland UK (delivery charge applies at checkout). As an independent workshop, we highly appreciate direct bank transfers (BACS). If you prefer to pay directly via bank transfer, we will happily waive the delivery fee as a thank you.

The Rococo style originated in France during the early 18th century, characterised by ornate asymmetry, C-scrolls, and natural motifs such as leaves and shells. This decorative language was later revived in the 19th and early 20th centuries for formal interiors.

Traditional wall sconces from this period were typically cast in brass or bronze, often featuring a gilded, plated, or hand-finished surface. Metalworkers employed sand casting and chasing techniques to achieve intricate surface details and fluid, organic shapes.

Authentic pieces usually display signs of age such as minor surface patination, weight consistent with solid cast metal, and period-appropriate wiring methods if unadulterated. Examination of the backplates, mounting fixings, and casting seams often reveals historical manufacturing techniques distinct from modern reproductions.

Integrating antique sconces into a modern setting involves pairing their ornate metallic finish with clean architectural lines to create visual contrast. They work effectively when flanked symmetrically around mirrors, artwork, or structural focal points like fireplaces.

Gilt and brass surfaces should be dusted regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth to prevent dust accumulation. Harsh chemical cleaners, abrasives, or polishes must be avoided, as they can strip the delicate gilt or lacquer finish.
