Pair of French Louis XV Period Gilt Bronze Sconces with C Crown Mark circa

An elegant pair of gilt bronze sconces, marked with the prestigious and historic C Crown stamp, dating from the Louis XV period circa 1745-1749. These sconces with two asymmetrical light arms captivate with their refinement and delicacy.

Features:
Design: Asymmetrical and gracefully curved light arms, adorned with shell and foliage motifs.
Gilding: Beautiful original gilding, attesting to the quality and authenticity of these pieces.
Dimensions: Height 18.1 inches, Width 11.8 inches.
Condition: In good original condition. We report a small restoration at a branch.

History:
The C Crown stamp, established by an edict in 1745, symbolizes a tax on bronzes and copper, applied until 1749. This mark, though small, is a testament to authenticity and value for collectors.

Style:
These sconces embody the Rocaille style, typical of the Louis XV period, where decorative art reached peaks of finesse and elegance.
