Pair Of Louis XVI Style Ormolu Sconces With Child Musicians Late 19th Century

Pair of Louis XVI style ormolu sconces with child musicians late 19th century

An elegant and decorative pair of Louis XVI-style three-light sconces in finely chiseled and gilded bronze, decorated with busts of child musicians blowing fifes, intertwined acanthus leaves, foliage scrolls, thyrses scrolls and quiver-like shafts.

Beyond the differences and interpretation, these sconces are stylistically close to the model supplied by Jean Hauré in 1787 for the Château de Saint-Cloud, a copy of which is in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.

Beautiful French work from the late 19th century.

Sizes: H 18.89 In - Total H 22.44 In. - W 15.35 In - D 7.48 In.

Our sconces are in fine condition. They have been electrified to European standards and receive white opalines simulating candles. Upgrade to American standards on request.
