?Rare pair of finely chiseled and mercury-gilded bronze sconces.
The barrels in foliage of acanthus leaves and decreasing falls of flowers let out two arms of light nervously treated like whips.
Acanthus leaves and climbing plants entwine the two arms which support cups with plant decoration.
The latter, delicately decorated with gadrooned friezes and lambrequins, support the two bobeches with foliage bases.
High quality carving and original mercury gilding.
Perfect state of conservation.
Parisian work from the Louis XV period around 1730-1740.
