Louis XV-Style Doré Bronze Sconces

About the Item

Bronze Ormolu Sconces 19th Century This exceptional pair of Louis XV-style bronze ormolu sconces exemplifies the height of 19th-century decorative artistry. Crafted with extraordinary naturalistic grace characteristic of the period, these sconces showcase masterfully executed details with remarkable clarity and precision. The fixtures' two sinuous arms emerge from a richly ornamented central backplate, each branch adorned with meticulously rendered oak leaves, acanthus foliage, acorns and blossoming flowers.
