Set of Four 19th Century Louis XV Bronze d’Ore Sconces Stamped H D 1885

 

This magnificent set of four French Louis XV sconces are made of beautiful bronze d’ore and date back to the 19th century. Each sconce is stamped on back, “H D 1885,” and offers beautiful details; note the bronze d’ore drippers edged with beads, candle cups, and circular bobeches of acanthus leaves.  The back-plate features Pan playing his pipes, a symbol of unity and joy. Acanthus leaves drape from Pan’s waist to the scrolling arms, further scrolling elements rest below, adorned with acanthus leaves, ending with double fleurettes on either side. Finally, vines are featured growing from a bow ribbon in the middle, spiraling to acorn finials at the very end.
