Pair of 19th C. French Ormolu & Patinated Bronze Torchieres/floor lamps

About the Item

An Incredible and Large Pair of 19th Century Empire Period French Ormolu and Patinated Bronze Mounted Torchieres. The patinated bronze base is decorated with hand-chassed and hand-chiseled ormolu mounts which feature neoclassical iconography. On the triangular mid-section of the stand is a pattern of palmetto leaves and sphinx heads—ubiquitous throughout French Empire design, which are done in ormolu. Moving upwards from the triangular base are cylindrical ormolu mounts of three-dimensional laurel leaves, with the top terminating into a ormolu palm-leaf motif. The ormolu palms are then mounted on a fluted patinated bronze stand which terminate at the top with an acanthus ormolu mount featuring an electrified lamp fitting. The base is patinated and giltwood and rests on three patinated ball feet. France, Circa: 1820 Overall Height including Finial: 68"
