Description
This pair of wall lights is crafted from ormolu, or gilt bronze, in the ornate Louis XVI style. Each light features a lyre-form body, replete with five mock strings and finished throughout with delicate foliate detailing. The bottom of each lamp includes a drop finial composed of a pinecone and finely wrought grasping acanthus leaves, while the top of each is finished with a wonderful trompe l’oeil tied-ribbon crown, from which the lyre body is apparently suspended. Each light supports five candle branches—the branches springing from the base of the lyre—with each S-scroll branch moulded with acanthus leaves and other classicising foliate forms.
