Rococo Revival 19th Century French Bronze Angel Sconces

About the Item

This pair of Rococo Revival cast bronze figural sconces attracted attention at an estate sale auction in Los Angeles. We found them irresistible. We are still scouring the pieces intermittently for a mark, but our appraiser is confident they are late 19th century French pieces. Each sconce is in the form of a winged bare-breasted female holding a single candle aloft (fitted with a frosted foliate form glass shade), on an asymmetrical deeply cast wall mount with C-scrolls and acanthus. They are unmarked. The frosted glass rosettes have a condition issue on the base of the flower where it comes into contact with the metal holder. Please see pictures. There is an attractive patina and the silhouette of the pair raises the presentation level of this gorgeous light source. The sconces are 15 inches tall and 6.5 inches wide.

  • Arteriors White Twig, Faux Coral Effect Sconce
    By Arteriors
    Located in Lomita, CA
    Coral effect or twig effect, the name of this beautiful sconce that we picked up at auction is not as important as the form and the statement lighting it can create. Nor is it as important as the set we have imagined for a designer in search of something unique. But we love, love, love this piece, which complements our own faux coral, twig effect table lamp, LU6651233419992. For the discerning designer, this represents a chance to create a one-of-a kind assembled set with reimagining in any color desired. The sconce is crisp and sharp in white with a single light. It is made of iron and presents best with a small lamp shade...
