About the Item

On offer here is a beautiful pair of late 19th-century French bronze fire-gilt and crystal-hung sconces. The large cast bronze sconces each feature five scrolled arms and are decorated with acanthus, scrolls, and floral themes. The asymmetrical shape is typical of the French Louis Quinze or Rococo style. The bronze was completely fire gilt. Fire gilding, also known as mercury gilding, is the process through which a particular item is laid with pieces of mercury and gold. After several processes are performed, the gilded item is then heated which works to remove excess mercury. The result is a durable, long-lasting, bright gold, shining gilded piece. The sconces are enriched with crystal-cut ornaments made into decorative chains. The sconces were recently converted for the use of electric lighting. The wiring and light fixtures are recent and suitable for both US and EU electricity. The sconces were completely and gently cleaned and new cardboard candles were added. The sconces are solid, clean, and ready for use.
