Louis XV sconce - Brass

Mid-18th century Louis XV wall Sconce cast in Brass with superb detailing, three Rococo arms of sinuous design and of exceptional proportion. The wall plate is composed of scrolls and abstract acanthus motifs and terminates with leafage and flowers at the base. The scrolled arms are gracefully intertwined and support candleholders and drip pans.
This design is very much in the manner of Jean-Jacques Caffieri, the superb chasing and balance between matte and burnished gold together with form and fluidity are directly relevant to his masterpieces of the same period.

The ornamental style called rocaille emerged in France between 1710 and 1750, mostly during the regency and reign of Louis XV, the style was also called Louis Quinze. Its principal characteristics were picturesque detail, curves and counter-curves, asymmetry, and a theatrical exuberance. On the walls of new Paris salons, the twisting and winding designs, usually made of gilded or painted stucco, wound around the doorways and mirrors like vines. One of the earliest examples was the Hôtel Soubise in Paris (1704–05), with its famous oval salon decorated with paintings by Boucher, and Charles-Joseph Natoire.
