About the Item

A towering architectural lighting source, this painted wooden chateau sconce is over 57 inches tall and 21 inches deep. Hand-carved circa 1800, the sconce has a beautiful parcel paint finish consisting of beige, cream, and navy throughout the foliate carvings. Topped by a large, segmented leaf crest above a pair of leafy volutes and a water lily, the sconce also features numerous curled leaves, C-scrolls, and a pair of fruited vines that flank a central lobed cabochon. Just beneath the pierced circle is an S-scrolled arm topped with a single pricket. The undulating arm extends over 18 inches outwards and is embellished with leaf curls. Our parcel-painted wooden sconce would make a wonderful addition to a hallway, living room, or library wall.

Large Period Louis XVI French Painted Overdoor or Headboard, circa 1790
Located in Dallas, TX
Originally an overdoor from a boiserie room at a French chateau, this large architectural was hand-carved during the Louis XVI period, circa 1790. The overdoor is roughly rectangular, with the exception of the stepped bottom molding, which would have been necessary to fit over the door frame. In the center of the overdoor is a classical urn adorned with imbricated disks and gadrooning and topped with a pinecone finial. The vessel is surrounded by an ovate border embellished with bead and reel, an oval floret, scrolls, and foliage. Two bundled leaf swags emanate from the top of the medallion, flowing in opposite directions, with crinkled ribbon loosely twirled around the greenery. An additional crinkled ribbon is wrapped around the garland just before the swag feeds through a hoop and turns downwards. Prominent molding with several thick layers surrounds the low-relief carvings, providing a nice border to the architectural panel. The wood has been painted a grayish-green color, sometimes referred to as “French gray”, which is a very neutral color that can be paired with many interior color palettes. Our Louis XVI painted overdoor...
