Pair of French Silver-Plated Two-Light Sconces, 1940s

$4,600.00

A pair of French silver-plated sconces from the 1940s, standing over two feet tall, their scale gives them an architectural presence, allowing them to anchor a room rather than simply illuminate it. 

The silhouette—two candle-form lights rising beneath a tailored rectangular shade—reflects the presence of French interiors.

The silver-plated finish is what distinguishes the pair. Softly reflective rather than polished to excess, it catches and diffuses light with warmth, bringing depth and subtle contrast to surrounding materials. Over time, the surface has developed the gentle character that only age can impart, reinforcing the authenticity of the pieces.

Whether flanking a fireplace, framing a mirror, or lining a hallway, they introduce both symmetry and atmosphere.

DIMENSIONS: 13"W x 5"D x 29.5"H

ADDITIONAL DIMENSIONS: With No Shades: 8.25" x 2.25" x 25.5"

ORIGIN: France

PERIOD: 1940s

These sconces have been professionally rewired by our in-house team of restorationists with a new socket, and newly fitted with a tailored shade. Accepts two E12 candelabra base light bulbs each.
