Our sconces are in excellent condition, they have been drilled to be electrified. They are in their original gilding, with some minor wear, which is part of the charm of these late 18th or early 19th-century French objects.<\/p>\n
Jean Charles Delafosse (1734-1789) was a French architect, ornamentalist, painter and engraver.<\/p>\n
His most famous collection of engravings is the\u00a0Nouvelle iconologie historique, first published in 1768 and subsequently republished and modified many times.<\/p>\n
He was an important theorist of the Louis XVI \u2018square\u2019 style and the beginnings of neo-classicism.<\/p>\n
His influence was apparent in the decoration of Parisian houses between 1760 and 1780.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
