The compositions are richly modelled with finely cast blossoms, garlands, and foliage, reflecting the continuing French tradition of decorative lighting inspired by 18th-century wall appliques, with an emphasis on classical balance, symmetry, and crisp ornamental relief.

Each sconce is fitted with three candle-style lights and has been adapted for electricity, making the pair suitable for contemporary interiors while preserving the original decorative intent. The warm gilded surface enhances the depth of the casting and creates a luminous, architectural accent when installed, particularly effective when used as a pair flanking a mirror, doorway, or focal wall element.
