Music was one of Marie-Antoinette’s lifelong diversions. She was taught to perform and sing when young in Vienna, where the opera composer Christoph Willibald Gluck was her tutor. She amused herself with music several hours a day at the French court and was a devotee of the opera. The queen’s enjoyment of music is reflected in the design of these wall lights, which were ordered probably in 1787 or the following year for her use at the Château de Petit Trianon.
Suspended from a gilt-bronze ribbon tied in a bowknot, and the arms are shaped like horns.
Gilt bronze was used extensively for different types of lighting, ranging from freestanding candlesticks and candelabra to hanging chandeliers and lanterns. Sconces were usually placed on either side of a mirror so that the flames of their candles were reflected and multiplied in the glass.
