About the Item

"Pair of candle sconces with two scroll arms made from ormolu gives a preeminent and grandiose feel. With a splendid golden color, lavish but no less aesthetic, the pair of antique wall sconces have a clear French Louis XVI style. Louis XVI style shows flexibility with the characteristic curves of the classic style. Purposefully symmetrical curves bring out the magnificence and luxury of aristocracy circa the 19th century. Louis XVI style prioritizes classic floral motifs that are delicately carved and with charming curves. Pair of sublime French wall sconces with finial dore bow knot. Below the dore bow knot is a bunch of grapes showing the abundance and growth of nature. The stem of wall sconces depicts tightly braided curves to the bottom. Leaf and grape motifs are not only adorned at the top but also used at the end of candle sconces. The two scroll arms are decorated with classic acanthus motifs and round disc shapes under the candle holder. Acanthus motifs are commonly used in ancient Greek and Roman sculpture, architecture, and pictures. In Greek mythology, acanthus leaves are the embodiment of Acantha - the lover of Apollo born from failed love. The exquisite combination of floral motifs and scroll arms brings an extremely luxurious and seductive beauty. The classical symmetry of two scroll arms has clear features of neoclassicism. The neoclassical movement that dominated Europe through the 18th-19th centuries is often defined neatly: Neoclassical negation of Rococo's immoral vanity, inspired by Greco-Roman classical art, focus on simplicity and balance. Pair of Louis XVI style dore bow knot candle sconces with two scroll arms handcrafted by master craftsmen in the 19th century. The feminine beauty of the queen is clearly outlined by the dore bow knot. The pair of antique wall sconces possesses a minimalist beauty, close to nature but no less grandiose thanks to ormolu.".
