This distinctive pair of 1980s French Louis XVI–style wall sconces combines richly detailed bronze construction with a warm gilded finish and striking faceted purple crystal shades. Artisan-crafted in France, the pair offers an elegant balance of neoclassical symmetry, decorative color and atmospheric lighting.
Each sconce features a sculptural bronze frame decorated with scrollwork, classical motifs and refined Louis XVI-inspired ornamentation. The warm gold-toned finish highlights the modelling and creates a beautiful contrast against the deep violet crystal.
A particularly unusual feature is the pair of faceted purple crystal shades on each sconce. Their rich coloration changes subtly depending on the surrounding light, while the cut surfaces catch and reflect illumination for additional sparkle and visual depth.
Displayed together, the sconces are ideal for flanking a mirror, artwork, fireplace, doorway or console, but they can also be positioned separately in bedrooms, dining rooms, hallways or elegant hospitality interiors.
