A pair of French two-light brass sconces from the late 19th century, with cherubs, satyrs, foliage, and tied ribbons, embodies a charming blend of elegance and whimsical artistry. The medallion features intricately detailed cherubs and satyrs playfully wrestling with one another, creating a lively and enchanting scene that draws the eye. Surrounding these figures is a delicate garland of foliage, enhanced by fine beads and a laurel wreath that evoke a sense of celebration and festivity. Atop each medallion, an exquisitely tied ribbon adds a refined touch, symbolizing both unity and beauty. The sconces are designed with two gracefully scrolling arms that extend outward, supporting acanthus-leaf bobèches that cradle the candle sleeves. This classic design not only enhances the sconces' visual appeal but also allows for a warm, inviting glow when lit. Wired for the US, this pair of French brass sconces, circa 1890, is not just a source of light but a decorative statement that will bring a graceful touch to any home.
