This exquisite pair of 18th-century Georgian-era French sconces blend Rococo's swirling delicacy with Chinoiserie's opulent shapes, created in polished bronze and featuring a central crane in a grand pose. Each sconce holds two faux-candlestick lights emerging from a twisted mass of floral and foliate scrolls.
The Georgian Era spanned from 1714 to about 1830, marked by an opulent and exuberant fashion, rich in art, architecture, and literature. The Chinoiserie style, emerging from European fascination with Asian art, is characterized by exuberant and asymmetrical decoration, often incorporating birds with spiritual and symbolic meanings, such as cranes, which symbolized longevity, immortality, and wisdom in Chinese and Japanese cultures.
These stunning sconces exemplify the blend of Chinoiserie and Rococo styles, creating a distinctive, ornate design admired for its elegance and detailed artistry. Perfect for adding a touch of historical flair to any home.
Height without a light bulb=17 in.
Height with a typical candle-shaded bulb=22 in.
Width=14.5 in. Depth=5 in. 20 lbs. (10 lbs. each) less
