Artisan-crafted in France from solid bronze, the sconces have a substantial presence and work equally well as functional lighting or statement wall decoration.
Each sconce is centred with a finely modelled deer head featuring expressive facial details and gracefully shaped antlers. The design recalls the decorative traditions of French châteaux, country estates and hunting lodges while maintaining an elegant, refined appearance.
The bronze has been finished in a rich antique-gold tone that emphasizes the sculptural details and gives the sconces a warm, softly aged character. Transparent beaded accents are incorporated throughout the design, catching and reflecting the light to create additional sparkle and visual depth.
Each wall lamp has four light points: two bulbs positioned on the outward-facing arms and two inner bulbs that provide a softer atmospheric glow. The sconces have been professionally rewired and fitted with new E14 sockets. They are compatible with international electrical systems, including 110V installations in the United States, although professional installation by a qualified electrician is recommended.
