REQUEST INFORMATION

?

Important and rare pair of wall lights in finely chiseled and mercury-gilded bronze. Model with two light arms with bases decorated with rocaille acanthus sprays ending with small flowers. The two intertwined arms are nervously treated as whip strokes; they support the two cups with plant decoration that support two bobeches in the shape of twisted buds.
The whole of the wall lights is studded with small flowers.

High quality of chiseling and mercury gilding.

Good condition, bobeches, screw threads and original gilding.

Parisian work from the Louis XV period, circa 1750, probably after a drawing by Nicolas Pineau (1684-1754).
