This pair of French Louis XVI style wall lights dates to 1930. The warm gold fixtures consist of gilded brass twin candle arms with barley twisted scrolling supports, reeded bobeche drip pans, and leaf bulbous candle sconces, issuing from a decoratively cast elongated rope and tassel pierced backplate with a leaf finial. Candle-style bulb fittings complete the hardware details. Each wall light measures 41 cm high, 22 cm wide, and 13 cm deep. These pieces work well in a home today mounted on a narrow wall space in a hallway, bedroom, or living room to provide ambient illumination. The classic design suits traditional French chateau interiors.

FAQs

French rope and tassel sconces originated during the Neoclassical and Louis XVI periods, characterised by cast metalwork shaped to mimic draped cords, tied knots, and hanging tassels.

Traditional French wall sconces were constructed from cast brass or bronze, often finished with gilt or ormolu plating to enhance light reflection in period interiors.

Authentic period pieces feature heavy cast construction, hand-chased surface details on the metalwork, and natural oxidisation on the unpolished rear casting surfaces.

A pair of decorative sconces can be mounted symmetrically on either side of a chimneypiece, mirror, or sideboard to frame a focal point and supply accent lighting.

Dust regularly with a soft, dry lint-free cloth. Avoid abrasive metal polishes or chemical cleaners, which can wear down the original gilded finish over time.
