Pair Of Large Sconces Louis XVI XIXth

These sconces are in the spirit of the creations of the great makers of the second half of the 18th century and often daringly designed for Queen Marie Antoinette. We will think of Q C Pitoin for example. These represent a large ribbon tied to a nail bearing a crown of vines. Also tied on the ribbon are the three sconces, and adorned with foliage surrounding them. A faun mascaron is held under the knot. The horn sconces are fluted and ended with large bowls with pearls and garlands of flowers on the one hand and a pine cone on the other. The luminaires of this model had the particularity of having the binet very little visible, the arm ending in a basin. We are in a quality very close to the original lighting. The ribbons for example are all in width as in the round.

State:
very good, beautiful gilding. A repair at the rear on a loop, invisible but slightly forward that you can only see when you know it. This discretion is confirmed in the detail photo with the head of the fauna (left loop).

Dimensions:
Wall base : 63 cm x 20 cm, wingspan: 27 cm, overhang: 24 cm.
