This pair of French wall sconces, dating from around 1890, exemplifies the ornate Louis XVI style characteristic of the late 19th century. Cast in bronze or brass, the sconces feature a slender, vertical composition with two candle-style arms, each fitted with faux wax drips in a warm, light beige tone. The finish is predominantly matte dark brown, enriched by subtle golden highlights on raised decorative elements. Decorative motifs include ribbons, floral garlands, classical urn shapes, and acanthus leaves, while the visible screws and traditional joinery affirm the authenticity and artisanal precision of the period. The metal displays a subtle texture, with gentle darkening and patina consistent with age, showing no major damage or restoration. The overall condition is very good, with only minimal wear typical for antiques. These sconces evoke the spirit of the fin de siècle: their decorative richness reflects not only the craftsmanship of the era but also the refined aesthetic sensibilities of late 19th-century France. The urn forms conjure images of Parisian salons, where candlelight played across velvet upholstery and gilded frames, while the ribbon and floral motifs spin a narrative of French art de vivre. The patina on the metal hints at decades passed—these sconces seem to whisper stories of evenings begun by candlelight. Such sconces would work well as an accent
