An exceptional pair of oversized Neoclassical wall sconces sourced during a recent trip to Paris. These statement pieces are hand-carved in the form of architectural corbels, featuring a rich, hand-applied gold leaf finish that has aged to a warm, sophisticated patina. The backplates are detailed with classic acanthus leaf motifs and elegant scrollwork, offering a dramatic vertical presence at 37.5 inches in height.
To balance the traditional Neoclassical design, the pair is topped with rectangular shades in a vibrant, pleated French dusty blue silk. The juxtaposition of the classic giltwood with the jewel-toned shades makes these sconces a perfect fit for a variety of interiors—from a maximalist Hollywood Regency living room to a refined Parisian-style pied-à-terre.
While the design draws heavily from 18th-century French architectural corbels, the electrification and shade pairing suggest a high-end custom commission from the mid-to-late 20th century, likely designed for a grand Parisian residence.
Designed for hardwired installation; up to 250V (Europe Standard); may require a professional electrician to ensure proper mounting and connection to a standard US junction box.

Excellent vintage condition. The giltwood finish shows a beautiful patina. Silk shades are also in great condition; a couple of small stains at the seam of one shade, probably glue from the manufacturing process.
