This magnificent pair of gilded bronze wall sconces, dating from the mid-19th century, embodies the elegance and refinement of the Napoleon III era.
Inspired by the original model designed by Claude Galle for the grand salon of the Petit Trianon, these sconces can now be found in the hunting returns dining room of the King's inner apartment at the Château de Versailles.
Each sconce features three arms of light in the shape of a hunting horn, symbolizing the art of hunting and the luxury of the royal court.
The body of the sconces is adorned with ribboned oak leaves, adding a touch of nature and majesty.
The ends of the arms end in deer hoof finials, underscoring the hunting theme with remarkable finesse.
These sconces are not only sources of light, but also works of art that reflect the exceptional craftsmanship of 19th-century artisans.
They bring a royal and historic atmosphere to any interior, recalling the splendor of the court of Versailles and the artistic legacy of Claude Galle.
