Curated by Turtle and Crane, these sconces channel the high-drama 'Modern Baroque' aesthetic of Dorothy Draper, featuring her signature oversized shell motif—the classic coquille—rendered in a radiant gold tone. Each bracket is anchored by elegant volute scrolls and crowned with a sleek, black lacquered demilune shelf, a bold material combination that calls to mind the executive glamour and heavy-gauge construction of Maitland-Smith.
"These are not merely shelves; they are architectural instruments designed to create moments of drama. The striking contrast between the gleaming brass and the deep black lacquer makes them a quintessential example of Palm Beach Regency chic. Imagine them flanking a large gilded mirror in an entryway, serving as the perfect pedestal for a pair of blue-and-white ginger jars, or holding trailing ivy in a maximalist dining room inspired by Tony Duquette. These sconces bridge the gap between historic grandeur and vintage cool, offering a rare opportunity to add depth, history, and a touch of theatricality to your walls without requiring a major renovation
