Why Hawkins Antiques?

Description

Overview

A superb pair of antique French gilt bronze wall sconces, richly decorated in the Louis XVI style and dating to the 19th century. Crafted in solid gilt bronze ormolu of exceptional quality, these elegant wall lights feature finely cast ram's head masks, classical urn finials, and scrolling arms adorned with detailed garlands and foliate decoration throughout.

Key Features

  • French Louis XVI style — 19th century
  • Solid gilt bronze ormolu construction throughout
  • Finely cast ram's head masks
  • Classical urn finials
  • Scrolling arms with detailed garlands and foliate decoration
  • Two candle arms per sconce
  • Warm aged patina enhancing decorative appeal
  • A rare and highly decorative matching pair

Craftsmanship & Detail

The sconces display exceptional quality and craftsmanship consistent with the finest French ormolu work of the 19th century. The ram's head masks, classical urn finials, and garland-adorned scrolling arms combine to create a composition of considerable decorative richness - the warm aged patina adding depth and character throughout. Equally effective as statement lighting or purely decorative wall ornaments, these sconces work beautifully in a living room, hallway, dining room, or as accent pieces within a luxury interior design scheme.

Our house was built in 1820, so I have been slowly acquiring furniture from the same period. The piece is perfect & arrived very quickly too.

We purchased a table from Hawkins Antique and it is absolutely stunning and a mint condition! Delivery was very fast and the delivery team were fantastic and really went the extra mile to get the table into the house - it wasn't simple due to our narrow front door, but the guys managed to get it in, keeping the table safe along the way! Highly recommend - very happy! Made another purchase already!

We had purchased a walnut sideboard from this company. We are delighted with it and with the service. The sideboard - is in a very good condition, clean, as described and advertised. We found dealing with everyone in that company to be straight forward and helpful. I would not hesitate buying from them again! Highly recommended!!!

Hawkins Antiques have been absolutely perfect. The furniture we bought is brilliant, exactly as described and photographed, and the team couldn’t have been more helpful and professional

Dan Sails

Bought a William Tillman table and chairs. We are absolutely thrilled with the purchase and the company was very understanding when we were having trouble with moving dates. They were extremely helpful and understanding. Items came well packed and dropped off by two nice chaps who moved everything into the house for us without any hassle at all. Absolutely no trouble in recommending Hawkins Antiques. Would give more than 5*
