A pair of Louis XVI period chiseled and gilt bronze sconces with quivers circa 1780<\/b><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
An elegant, decorative pair of sconces with quivers with two arms of light in finely chiseled bronze and in their original splendid gilding.<\/p>\n
These sconces are to be compared with the three-arms model kept in the Royal Palace of Pavlovsk in Russia, possibly part of the orders of Maria-Feodorovna and Paul I of Russia, during their trip to Paris as Count and Countess of the North in 1783. To be compared also with a pair preserved in the castle of Moncley (Doubs).<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
They propose a beautiful chiseled and gilded bronze decoration; a classic Louis XVI ribbon knot supporting a quiver with twisted flutes loaded with flowers, the shafts ending with Acanthus.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Beautiful French work of the Louis XVI period, circa 1780, which borrows from the great bronze masters of the 18th century.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Sizes: H 17.71 In - W 9.44 In - D 4.72 In.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Our pair of sconces are in fine original condition, with beautiful gilding. It is professionally wired for electricity, European standards, and the possibility of setting to the American standard on request.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
