A beautiful pair of 19th-century French gilt metal wall sconces in the Louis XV style, each featuring three candleholders supported by elegantly scrolling arms.
The elongated backplates are richly decorated with flowing acanthus leaves and elaborate Rococo scrollwork, while the candleholders feature finely detailed floral decoration and scalloped drip pans.
The original gilding has developed a wonderful aged appearance, with areas of warm gold contrasting against the darker patina of the candle arms. The sconces have not been electrified and retain their traditional use as candleholders.
Dating to the second half of the 19th century, this decorative pair would look particularly striking positioned either side of a mirror, above a fireplace or on either side of a doorway.

The vintage glass storage jars are exactly as advertised. Excellent customer service! I placed two separate orders several days apart, but they were packed and shipped together. I was quickly reimbursed for overage shipping costs before even requesting a refund! Each jar was very well packed to minimize chance of breakage in transit, and they all arrived undamaged. I will shop here again!
Fantastic! Beautiful! I have been hunting for some Alfred Corneau urns for many years, as most sellers won't send them internationally, as well as at such a reasonable exchange rate. Very happy! : )
