Set of 4 Louis XVI French Dore Bronze Wall Appliqués/Sconces, 18th Century Paris

About the Item

A very unusual and quite rare set of four antique French Louis XVI period, three-light wall lights/appliqués, (sconces). Each having a Hercules mask to initialize each arm, with an ormolu urn and flame above all. The bronze finely cast and then hand-chiseled with the finest detail, and finally enhanced with two-toned matte and burnished doré bronze, circa late 1700s, Paris. It is very difficult to see an original set of four sconces that were made over two hundred years ago, and still remain as a family. This item is sold in pairs. Each pair contains 2 sconces and each pair is a set. This item can either be purchased as 1 set or 2 sets. Measures: Overall height 20” Width 14.5” Depth 9.25” (exposure).

  • Set of Four Louis XVI Style Jasperware and Gilt Bronze Wall Sconces
    By Henri Vian, Maison Beurdeley
    Located in London, GB
    These exquisite wall lights were created in the late 19th century by the famous bronzier, Henri Vian (French, 1860-1905). These wall lights are stamped ‘HV 955’ for Henri Vian, along with ‘BY’ for the prestigious Beurdeley furniture-making workshop (French, founded 1818). Vian purchased several bronze models that were created by Beurdeley when the company closed in 1895. These lights were most likely cast from a Beurdeley model. Typical of both Beurdeley’s and Vian’s work, these lights are designed in an 18th century Louis XVI (Neoclassical) style. The wall lights feature gilt bronze (ormolu) backplates which are designed to look like ribbons, tied in bows and ending in tassels. These ribbons support gilt bronze oval frames...
