About the Item

Made in France, circa 1890 of solid brass in the Empire Style.
Each, is three and a half foot tall (41 inches) and each has 5 branches/lights, with frosted glass flame/torch shades. Unusually, the branches, lights and shades all point downwards, probably due to the Size of each sconce.
They are flush mounted wall sconces/lights and weigh around 30 lbs each.
At the top they have the Classic ribbon bow.
As you move downwards, the have a large convex medallion/armorial medallion, with swags and laurel wreaths below
The lower portion has a central tassel swag over a fluted architectural column which ends with an acorn/flower bulb style finial.
Each light branch is decorated with a floral curved and scrolling leaf.
The rear of the sconces has all the ‘oxidization’ one would expect from late 19th century pieces.
Fully operational and in great condition.
Good quality casting. Not marked, but were undoubtedly made by a top French maker!

- 19C French Empire Style Complete Bedroom Set - OutstandingBy François LinkeLocated in Dallas, TXPRESENTING AN ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING 19C French Empire Style Style Complete Bedroom Suite/Set. HIGHLY, IMPORTANT AND UNIQUE Empire Style Bedroom Suite or Set, in the Manner of Francois Linke (or similarly important Parisienne maker), from circa 1880. The Suite/Set is almost completely original, save the bed, which was originally twin size, but professionally commissioned to be customized and converted into a Euro King Size for modern practicality. The quality of the conversion matches the quality of the suite/set. All pieces have ormolu gilt mounted fittings; beautiful patina, beautiful parquetry; beautiful carrara marble tops, simply stunning! About 10 years ago, I saw the ‘identical twin’ of the Commode in an Antique Store on Central Park in New York, however it had a less desirable green marble top (IMHO), and they were looking for 30k USD for the Commode, on its OWN! This Suite/Set is SO GOOD that it is the main exhibit in our rear Showroom. Not marked but under the marble top of the commode there are 2 signatures in pencil (1) M. Le Youters (?) and (2) M. Daneels. You will NOT find another complete suite/set like this ANYWHERE! AS A BONUS: We have curated and sourced (recently) a Pair of Monumental French Empire Wall Sconces which are a ‘PERFECT’ match for this bedroom set! (See pics) These sconces are being sold separately BUT they really COMPLETE the entire bedroom! The Suite/Set includes: European King Size Bed (Headboard, Baseboard, side panels and central support bracket). 2 Matching Bedside...Category
