Pair of Louis XVI period ram sconces by Delafosse

Pair of gilt bronze wall lights illuminated by 3 winding light arms holding laurel garlands.

The heavily molded and architectural shaft is darkened with grooves rudentée with asparagus. Under the central light arm, a finely chiseled ram's head embellishes it.

At the damping, a fire pot decorated with a laurel garland completes these wall lights.

Fitting perfectly into the neo-classical movement of the 1760s/70s, these wall lights are reminiscent of the design attributed to the famous architect and ornamentalist Jean-Charles Delafosse (1734-1789).

French work from the end of the 18th century.

Good condition, pierced for electricity.
