About the Item
Pair of Antique Bronze French Double Arm Wall Candle Sconces with Lion Heads, ca. 1890.
Elevate your interior with this distinguished pair of antique French wall candle sconces, circa 1890. Imbued with timeless Neoclassical elegance, each sconce features a central lion mask flanked by two ornate candle arms adorned with laurel garlands, fluting, and urn finials—classical symbols of strength, refinement, and heritage.
These sculptural pieces bring a sense of grandeur and historical charm to any space. Whether placed in an entryway, flanking a mirror above a console, or adding symmetry to a formal dining room or library, they offer a dramatic focal point with warm tones and intricate detailing. When lit, the candles cast a soft, inviting glow that enhances their classical design.
The sconces were originally gilded, though time has softened their finish—one retains more of its gilding than the other, giving each a unique patina and character. Their aged surface only adds to their antique charm, making them ideal for interiors that celebrate authenticity and texture.
Perfect for traditional, eclectic, or maximalist settings.
