About the Item

This fanciful pair of French polychromed wall sconces captures both whimsy and elegance, blending classical influences with artistic imagination. Each sconce features a finely modeled mythical bird with outstretched wings, perched gracefully as if guarding the dual candle arms. The polychrome finish incorporates subtle tones of green, gold, and bronze, lending depth and dimension to the design. Above, decorative foliate bobeches with dripping crystal prisms add sparkle and sophistication, enhancing the sculptural presence of the sconces. Originally designed in the French tradition of merging natural and fantastical motifs, these sconces offer both illumination and artistic statement. The addition of fabric shades over the candle-style lights provides a refined touch, balancing the playful character of the winged figures with a sense of formality. Versatile in placement, these sconces are ideal for flanking a mirror, entryway, or fireplace, where their presence creates symmetry and drama. They enrich antique-inspired interiors, bring theatrical flair to Hollywood Regency rooms, and offer striking contrast in mid-century modern settings. Rare and imaginative, this pair of French polychromed wall sconces combines myth, artistry, and light into a collectible design element that elevates any space. Measures 18 inches tall x 12.5 with shades or 9.5 inches wide without shades x 12.25 deep to the wall.
