About the Item

Pair of French Midcentury plaster sconces in the form of sea shells by legendary designer, Serge Roche.

Roche often collaborated with Jean Michel Frank and Maison Jansen for their design collections. Artistically, he created the fabulous sets for Jean Cocteau’s film: The Beauty and the Beast which brought critical acclaim world-wide. These pieces are Priced and Sold as a Pair.
