These neoclassical elements, typical of the Louis XVI style, refer back to the Greek and Roman cultures for inspiration. The bronze casting is of very good quality, with crisp details and displaying a pleasant, natural golden patina of age. Very often these types of sconces are wired for use with electric lights - these have not been altered and are still meant for use as candle holders. Classic and elegant in form, they will bring an element of romantic antiquity to any interior.
