Chairish

$1,338

The wall sconces correspond to the swan model by Maison Lucien Gau, a Parisian bronze art manufacturer specializing in bronze lighting since 1860, still active today. Model Identification • Composition in gilt bronze, Empire style decoration (palmettes, stylized leaves) and swans supporting the light arms, exactly like the Lucien Gau "swan wall sconces." • Antique gold finish enhanced with Empire green on the candle cups and the base, a characteristic detail of Lucien Gau's production of this model. Selency +1 • The dimensions and overall shape (2 to 3 arms, facing swans, a row of palmettes) are very close to pairs dating from the 1960s-1970s sold on the secondary market. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no official proof of authenticity, however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity issues arising from misattribution, Up to 250V (Europe/UK Standard).The wiring of this item may be original and might need replacement, if not specified otherwise.
