About the Item
A fine and large pair of 19th Century Ormolu wall lights in the Rococo Revival Style
These wall lights are executed in finest ormolu, the gilded bronze beautifully cast and finely chased. The lights are asymmetrical in form and are related to an 18th century model, c.1749, that is given to the designer Jean-Claude Duplessis by the authors of the landmark work on ormolu Vergoldete Bronzen, see Vol. I p. 143 fig. 2.II.17.
Just like the original model, our lights have three nozzles and the sense of lightness in the design has been faithfully reproduced by the makers, the floral scroll work catching the eye. These wall lights are a fine example of the enduring quality of French rococo designs and, likewise, the continued excellence of French, probably Parisian, craftspeople and workshops in the later 19th century when they were made. Circa 1880.
