A Truly Exceptional and Monumental Pair of Hollywood Regency French-style Girandole Wall Sconces. Executed in heavy gilt metal and adorned with hundreds of cut crystal prisms. Standing an impressive 43 inches in height, each sconce features an extraordinary 17-LIGHT CONFIGURATION arranged in a dramatic multi-tiered form more commonly seen in grand Chandeliers than wall-mounted fixtures. The design centers around a beautifully proportioned crystal bead "basket" [Montgolfier form], framed by scrolling arms, acanthus detail, elegant gilt supports and surrounded by scrolling arms each fitted with crystal bobesches and cascading crystal prisms. The result is a striking balance of Neoclassical form and Hollywood Regency glamour. These sconces are fully dressed with their complete set of prisms. Exceptional sparkle and light diffusion. Professionally rewired and fully functional. All prisms present. Very substantial weight architectural scale lighting. Each sconce retains double reinforced decorative bronze mounting brackets for secure installation. Minor age-appropriate wear to gilt finish consistent with vintage pieces. Likely produced mid 20thc, these sconces beautifully capture the elegance of Louis XVI and Empire period lighting while offering the scale and presence sought after in high-end interiors today.
Acquired from a source who indicated these were removed from the Alexander Hotel in Miami Beach, reflecting the grand-scale decorative lighting typical of the Hotels original interiors.
