The strong relief and sculptural quality of the casting speak to the high standard of french decorative bronzework of the 19th century.
small yet striking, these tiebacks function as architectural accents as much as practical hardware — equally at home in louis xvi, empire, or neoclassical interiors, or as refined classical touches in a contemporary setting.
one of the photos shows a mark with the initials "lb" and the number "79" on the back — this may indicate a maker's mark or inventory number worth researching further, as it could add significant provenance value.
