Little candles

A stunning pair of antique French bronze sconces. They are in Rococo style and have elegant metalwork with stylised ribbon motifs. They date to the early twentieth century and are ideal for adding classic French style to your home. Seen in the photos with four lampshades I made in a blue on light cream toile de Jouy fabric. I make all of my lampshades by hand in my studio in Bordeaux. At the time of listing, I have two matching pairs of these sconces available. They are being sold by the pair (as seen in the first photo). Please view each of the photos and read the full description below. Total height with the lampshades in place 38 cm (14.96 inches) Maximum width with the lampshades in place 25 cm (9.84 inches) Stand 15 cm from the wall (5.9 inches) max The lampshades measure 10 cm x 10 cm x 6 cm (3.9 inches x 3.9 ins x 2.3 ins) In good used, antique condition. The metalwork has a patina of time and surface wear commensurate with the age of the sconces. There is a fine split in the wood of one of the faux candles. The little, handmade lampshades have clip on rings at the top, which fit on to flame shaped (candelabra style) LED bulbs. They do not have rings at the bottom edge. IMPORTANT PLEASE NOTE: These sconces have recent two core wiring and their original wooden bulb holders and wooden faux candles (final photo). Your electrician will likely recommend bringing these sconces up to modern standards. Require 4 x E14 screw fit LED bulbs (not supplied) US and Canadian buyers can find bulb adapters on line to use their E12 bulbs with these sconces, please search 'E14 to E12 adapter'. The adapters cost approximately 3 USD each and you will require four adapters. They simply screw into place and then allow you to insert your E12 bulbs which will then work normally on your 110v or you may prefer to rewire to current standards. IMPORTANT As with all used electrical equipment, you are advised to have this item checked fitted/ rewired if deemed necessary, in your home by a qualified electrician. Wall fixing screws not supplied (you will need 4 brass screws) to fit these sconces flush to your wall.

Gorgeous, so elegantly French, beautiful wall 'appliques'.  Beautiful  almost ormolu colour..  Such elegance!  Heavy and very good quality They measure approx 11 1/4" (28.5cm) in length.  The wiring is good - it looks new.   (It is always generally advised to get electrical items checked and fitted by a qualified person.)  There are a few nibbles on the top of the  'candles' s to each light as to be expected with age - so they look, perfectly aged in my view!  They are also different on each light as often happens.. These are really beautiful  wall sconce's.  They could go anywhere in the house.  Beside the bed, in a hall way over a hallway table...  I personally like them when they are set at different levels or perhaps in a bathroom to add a superb touch of elegance!  But that is just my preference... To put these wherever you want - don't forget, you can actually have long wires put onto these, and then simply plug them into a socket. You cover the flex in a long tube of ruffled material to disguise it a little and that way - they can go wherever you want them to! These will be sent by registered post. Feel free to ask questions. This item is an Antique or vintage French. The charm of another era. It has lived a story. It was therefore used or has been in storage a very long time. Despite all my time and attention in preparation and checking, a detail can always escape me. It may need some TLC and a especially a little clean before use or display;) I will always combine postage but please contact me first for a quote. I ship via French post-priority service  that takes 1 week within European countries and 1 - 2.5 weeks to the other countries
