About the Item

Period Napoleon III furnishings are typically very versatile items, due to the fact that they incorporate elements from preceding styles, allowing these “Second Empire” pieces to be paired with offerings from other regimes. In the case of this pair of silvered bronze mirrored sconces, the style is inspired by the Regence period of the early 18th century. Crafted circa 1850 in France, the sconces have asymmetrical motifs often seen during the Regence, such as the curled leaves that trace along the borders. The positioning of the foliage is so subtle that the overall composition remains symmetrical; it is only upon closer examination that you will notice the variations in the minutiae. Also widely used during the Regence, the shaped mirrors are immediately bordered by patterned grounds of roundels that surround an Apolline mascaron beneath double eagle heads and small fluting that is encompassed by flowers and numerous curled leaves. Other decorative elements include a foliate margent, scrolls, and a pierced sunburst behind the mascaron, most of which partially obscure the edges of the mirror. At the base of the mirror is a large foliate cup with three S-curve arms extending from the center. Each is embellished with a rinceau of curled leaves and topped by a wide, flat gadrooned bobeche with another foliate cup on the underside. A cylindrical capital with a gadrooned circular top can support a one inch candle, or they could be wired for small watt bulbs. Our pair of Regence style mirrored sconces would also make fantastic decorative wall elements.

Pair of French Louis XVI Style Silvered Bronze Chenets, circa 1900

Located in Dallas, TX

This pair of brightly silvered bronze chenets are from France (circa 1900), in the style of Louis XVI, as noted by the presence of laurel leaf festoons and pots au feu finials. They were used in well-appointed homes, not only to decorate the front of the fireplace, but to prevent burning logs from rolling onto priceless rugs, should they break free of the fire. Often seen in natural wrought iron, or gilded in gold (in finer homes), it is unusual to see them in silvered bronze. Each finial has two pots au feu of different sizes and orientation adorned with a laurel swag. The larger fire pot...
