About the Item
This striking pair of 1940s French wall sconces features bold lion head backplates, lending a sculptural and authoritative presence to the design. Crafted in dark patinated metal, each sconce is fitted with two gracefully curved arms supporting candle-style lights, creating a balanced and symmetrical composition. The expressive lion motifs, framed within oval mounts, evoke classical and neoclassical influences while reflecting the strong decorative sensibility of mid-century French design. Subtle surface wear and patina enhance their depth and authenticity, highlighting the craftsmanship and age of the pieces. Both dramatic and refined, these sconces are ideal for flanking a fireplace, mirror, or entryway. They bring architectural interest and timeless character to traditional, eclectic, and curated interiors, serving as both functional lighting and sculptural wall accents.
