Cast with exceptional fluidity and weight, each applique rises from a sweeping C-scroll backplate through a cascade of acanthus leaves, flowering branches, and naturalistic foliage to three scrolling candle arms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFrench Louis XV Rococo manner, circa 1880\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThree scrolling candle arms per applique\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSweeping C-scroll backplate with cascade of acanthus and flowering branches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFoliate drip pans and bayonet lamp fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOriginal gilded finish with warm aged patina\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLarge scale - 75cm tall × 55cm wide per piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAdapted for electricity - rewiring required prior to use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCraftsmanship \u0026amp; Detail\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe scale of these pieces is considerable - at 75cm tall and 55cm wide they command a room in a way photographs cannot fully convey. The casting quality is of a high order: the acanthus work is crisp and deeply modelled throughout, with the characteristic asymmetry and movement that defines authentic Rococo bronzework of this period. The original gilded finish retains its warmth and depth, with areas of honest wear and natural patination consistent with age. A rare opportunity to acquire a large-scale matched pair in original condition - pieces of this size and quality are seldom found together.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hawkins Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57227763253625,"sku":null,"price":4200.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/6633\/8937\/files\/nextpaira.png?v=1778141985","url":"https:\/\/hawkinsantiques.com\/products\/a-fantastic-large-pair-antique-french-ormolu-three-branch-wall-lights-circa-1880","provider":"Hawkins Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
