About the Item

Showcasing a beautiful Pair of early 20th century bracket lantern sconces acquired in France. The pair is made in the direct taste of Parisian street lights in oscuro bronze with panes of strip glass. Each fixture offers four lights and is created in the Louis XVI style. Abundant details can be found in the delightful plaque which rests against the wall, to the precise ribbon motif at top. The price is for the pair which is sold together. Each piece in our shop is professionally rewired and in working order. They have been rewired at our fourth generation antique store in The French Quarter of New Orleans. Each chandelier and lantern comes with a vintage canopy, three feet of chain, and ample wire, and each sconce comes with all materials needed to mount. Each piece is newly wired with UL approved wire and sockets and is fully operable. This piece is a collection of a fourth generation, family owned business in New Orleans called The French Antique Shop. The store was first opened by Marie and Marcel Granet in Paris when they married in 1927. A jewish family, they came to the United States before the outbreak of the Second World War, leaving on the last boat out of Paris' port, Le Havre. When they reached New Orleans, they fell in love with the Vieux Carre as it reminded them of home. Their first shop here in New Orleans was located on Chartres Street in the French Quarter and was stocked originally with pieces they had brought with them from Paris. They moved to Royal Street and settled in their present expanded location at 225 Royal Street in 1947. Today, the shop is run by the third and fourth generation, Marc, and his two sons Michael and Brian. By purchasing from our shop, you're supporting a family run business which focuses on artisan made, high quality craft with an emphasis on quality. Thank you for helping us continue a dream started four generations ago!

Pair Luxury Louis XV Style Bronze Brass Wall Lanterns Faceted Glass Germany

Located in Hannover, DE

Exceptional pair of luxury handcrafted wall lantern sconces in the elegant French Louis XV Revival style. These impressive wall lights were created following the tradition of the finest French bronze lanterns from the late 19th century. The quality of execution, proportions and materials make them outstanding decorative statement pieces. The construction is made of very heavy forged brass or bronze with a beautiful naturally aged patina. Each lantern features exceptionally thick, solid beveled and faceted glass panels, creating magnificent warm reflections and a very atmospheric light when illuminated. Every detail shows the focus on durability, craftsmanship and premium quality: the strong metal frame, hand-finished decorative elements and massive glass construction were designed to last for generations. The extraordinary quality is reflected in the remarkable weight — each wall light weighs approximately 4.4 kilograms. Presumably handcrafted in Germany by a high-end workshop, these sconces combine the charm and elegance of French château lighting...
