Pair of Louis XVI Style Gilt Bronze Sconces

About the Item

Pair of Louis XVI style gilt bronze sconces French, 20th century Dimensions: Height 94cm, width 49cm, depth 33cm This pair of wall lights are superbly wrought in bronze, and feature exceptionally fine gilding. Each light is supported by a lyre-form backplate, from which sprouts five scrolled acanthus branches, leading to five-light fittings. On the backplate there also features a sunburst motif with a mask of Apollo in the middle, as well as a bow at the top. The lights in this pair are particularly modelled after those made by famed French craftsman Pierre-Francois Feuchère, who, in the 1770s and 1780s, was celebrated for his production of ormolu wares for wealthy consumers in the Louis XVI period.

These wall lights are stamped ‘HV 955’ for Henri Vian, along with ‘BY’ for the prestigious Beurdeley furniture-making workshop (French, founded 1818). Vian purchased several bronze models that were created by Beurdeley when the company closed in 1895. These lights were most likely cast from a Beurdeley model. Typical of both Beurdeley’s and Vian’s work, these lights are designed in an 18th century Louis XVI (Neoclassical) style. The wall lights feature gilt bronze (ormolu) backplates which are designed to look like ribbons, tied in bows and ending in tassels. These ribbons support gilt bronze oval frames...
