Refined late-19th to early-20th-century French Louis XVI-style gilt bronze wall sconce featuring a classical torch-shaped body, fluted details, acanthus ornaments, and two graceful curved arms. The design is characteristic of Belle Époque neoclassical elegance, with fine casting and decorative bobeches.
The surface shows age-related wear, including natural patina, light finish loss, and small spots of corrosion, consistent with an authentic antique piece.
The sconce retains vintage early sockets and old wiring, which must be replaced or professionally inspected before use, as they do not meet modern safety standards.

(The photographs form an integral part of the description.)
A well-placed antique does more than decorate a room - it gives it authorship. Against a contemporary interior, older objects introduce texture, balance and a sense of permanence that cannot be replicated by newly made pieces alone.
This is the principle behind the LÜRON selection. We look for works that carry historical character with ease, and that feel as convincing in a Paris apartment as they do in a more modern architectural setting.
