?Rare series of cabinet sconces with one arm of light.
It is made up of two pairs of symmetrical sconces in finely chiseled and mercury-gilded bronze.
The barrels display the attributes of Hercules in the upper part, with the remains of the Nemean lion intertwined with clubs, in the central part a background of asparagus grooves bearing medallions of emperor and empress and in the lower part a base acanthus ending in a seed bud.
An arm of light highlighted with an acanthus leaf springs from the plate and supports a cup with a frieze of gadroons which encloses the bobèche.
Very good state of conservation.
Great fineness of carving.
Parisian work from the Regency period around 1720.
