  • Set of Four Louis XVI Style Jasperware and Gilt Bronze Wall Sconces
    By Maison Beurdeley, Henri Vian
    Located in London, GB

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...
