Large hammered brass wall sconce, France, early 20th century. The design translates a symbolic thistle/holly motif into metal in a sculptural form: embossed overlapping leaves and undulating calyxes emerge along a vertical stem topped with domed rivets and a halo of concentric rings.
Executed from cut, bent, and hammered (not cast) brass sheets, the surfaces retain vivid hammering and a warm honey patina that enliven the light.
The workmanship and formal language recall the Parisian art metal workshop, where artisanal dinanderie supplied luxurious interiors.
Origin / Period: France, Art Nouveau (Symbolist), early 20th century.
Materials and technique: Handmade hammered brass.
Approximate dimensions: Height 90 cm × Width 50 cm × Depth 23 cm.
Condition: Good vintage condition; rich patina and minor marks consistent with age and craftsmanship.
A rare piece in scale and presence—both decorative and architectural—ideal as a focal point on an entrance hall, staircase, or dining room wall.
Up to 250V (Europe/UK Standard).The wiring of this item may be original and might need replacement, if not specified otherwise.
