Description

Very nice pair of chiseled bronze sconces with magnificent original gilding (cleaned only), from the Empire period.
Circular coat hook with lion mask holding in its mouth a flowery crown from which the three arms of light escape.
These, also with a beautiful wealth of detail.
Two large palmettes, embellished with foliage and fleurons, on either side of the leonine structure.

Superb work from the very beginning of the 19th century, which can be attributed to André-Antoine Ravrio, Claude Galle or even Pierre-Philippe Thomire.

The Mobilier national keeps two similar examples in its collections. Referenced GML-6302-001 and GML-3265-002.

We find a preparatory drawing registered in 1804 with the national library, representing identically this very beautiful pair of sconces.

Identical model, Sotheby's New York sale November 4, 2005, lot 620.

Empire period.

Very good state of conservation, formerly electrified discreetly.
