Description

The wall lights are uniformly designed in a Neoclassical, Louis XVI style. The lights feature stems which take the form of quivers, full of feather-tipped arrows.

Each stem terminates in a foliate tip, and is mounted near its top with two scrolled arms. These are each bound together and looped over with tasselled fabric. The leafy and fluted arms curl upwards to terminate in wide, acanthus leaf drip-pans and fluted capitals.

The tops of the lights are encircled by laurel wreaths, tied with ribbon. These ribbons extend upwards, to meet the wall in a crinkled bow.

These lights will look beautiful placed around the walls of a fine living or dining room.
