Exceptional pair of 18th century French gilt bronze chenets, circa 1750, later converted into table lamps. Each features finely cast figural and scrollwork detailing, typical of mid-18th century French decorative arts. The original chenets have been professionally mounted as lamps, allowing them to function beautifully in a contemporary interior while preserving their historic character. The rich gilt bronze surface displays a warm, aged patina consistent with age. These lamps make a striking statement on a console, commode, or bedside tables and work equally well in traditional or layered, eclectic interiors. Please note that lampshades are NOT included. One lamp requires minor repair on the top (missing finial) as shown in the provided images. 34"H to top of Finial Lightbulb is approx 23" H
