This nineteenth century French Second Empire wall sconce is made from Sevres porcelain, gilt bronze, and ormolu. The porcelain plate has a celeste bleu glaze with a central hand-painted panel depicting two lovers in a garden, surrounded by four cartouche panels with floral bouquets, all highlighted in gold. The ormolu mount incorporates a ribbon and bow crest at the top and a mythical mascaron plaque between the twin candle arms, which hold light blue candles. A green date mark for 1868 and a blue Sevres mark appear on the piece, alongside a scratch mark through the green lozenge indicating a factory second. The piece measures 35.5 cm high, 25 cm wide, and 15 cm deep. It is designed for wall mounting in a hallway, reception room, or bedroom to provide ambient lighting against a narrow wall space.

FAQs

Sevres porcelain wall candelabras are decorative lighting fixtures featuring hand-painted porcelain dishes or plaques set within gilded bronze mounts, produced in France during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

These wall fixtures typically integrate soft-paste or hard-paste porcelain decorated with enamel glazes and gilded detail, held within cast and chased gilt bronze ormolu frame mounts.

Authentic items feature fine hand-painted vignettes, detailed gilding on the porcelain border, heavy mercury-gilded or electroplated bronze mounts, and often manufacturer marks beneath the glaze.

A wall sconce can be installed on a narrow wall space, placed beside decorative mirrors, or hung in pairs to flank architectural features such as chimneypieces and doorways.

Dust surfaces using a soft, dry microfibre cloth or feather duster, avoiding harsh liquid chemicals, water, or metal cleaners that may strip the original gilding or harm the porcelain finish.
