Each sconce features a rustic paneled wood back with a warm, bleached finish that enhances the natural grain of the timber. At the center, an oval mirror is framed in giltwood, decorated with laurel swags and topped with a neoclassical crown motif, a hallmark of 18th- and 19th-century French design.

Extending from the gilt frame is a graceful pair of candle arms with circular bobeches, anchored by a carved rosette at the base. The combination of gilt detailing against the subdued wood panels creates a striking balance of elegance and rusticity, making them versatile for both refined interiors and French country settings.

These sconces not only serve as functional candle holders but also bring warmth and reflective light into a space, embodying the timeless sophistication of French decorative arts. They would be ideal flanking a console, mirror, or doorway, adding both character and illumination. See less
