Pair of American Art Deco Bronze Snake Sconces

About the Item

This pair of early 20th-century American Art Deco sconces, crafted from bronze, are a dramatic example of the style’s signature elegance and flair. They each feature two arms modeled as snakes, each with curling tails, engraved scales, and bold, open-mouthed heads that the hold candle cups. The snakes’ striking details bring a sense of movement and mystery to the sconces. The serpentine arms are anchored by a central turned column with a large spherical base, balancing the piece with a nod to classical forms. Art Deco design, known for its blend of modernity and ornamentation, often took inspiration from exotic creatures and geometric shapes, translating them into luxurious, streamlined works of art. These sconces embody that ethos, combining natural motifs with refined craftsmanship. Their intricate detailing and sculptural qualities make them a fine example of Art Deco style, capturing the era’s passion for both innovation and decorative opulence.
