Lighting > 1800 > A pair of French gilt-metal and bronze wall-lights, Napoleon the third, c. 1850-1860.
A pair of French gilt-metal and bronze wall-lights, Napoleon the third, c. 1850-1860.
Description: The Napoleon III period is characterised by the confluence of a plethora of artistic modes and by a virtuosic imitation of the forms and techniques of the past.
It the summation of a multitude of styles and techniques, as is evident in the wall-lights shown here, which are perfect examples of the Louis XV style.
Featuring five lights, these wall-lights are made from gilded bronze and metal and take their inspiration from the beaded en rocailles decorations of the mid-18th century.
It is interesting to note how the search for symmetry is still discernible despite the deliberate differences in each part, helping to achieve a sense of balance. A finely chiselled putto is situated between the curved arms.
Age: c. 1850
Dimensions: 40 cm. high, 35 cm. wide (15.7 inches x 13.8 inches), 30 cm. deep (11.8 inches).
Price: Sold
