About the Item

Like many animal motifs, the lion was highly prized by eighteenth-century ornamentalists. It can be found in a light arm by Pierre Thomire dating from 1788 and preserved in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, or in one by Louis Gabriel Feloix, dating from the same year and preserved in the Wallace Collection. Topped by a lion's head whose mane spreads over the sconce, this model is composed of a chased bronze cartouche ending with rocaille ornaments. Three arms of light rise from the center of the cartouche, emerging from a leaf of palmettes, punctuated by a cup placed on a flower, carrying the bobèche. The whole, in gilded bronze, mixes neo-classical symmetry and rocaille ornaments, in a synthesis of the Louis XV style. We have one pair in stock however we can produce them made to measure and in other finishes such as 24k gold, silver, nickel, black nickel (our any bespoke finish). Our Company may also customize sizes or make any modifications on original design.

This model is composed of a light plate in the shape of a violin, decorated with geometric patterns and flowers in bas-relief. The bottom of the plate is decorated with rocaille vegetal motifs, while the upper part is surmounted by a flower from which rays emerge.
