Set of 4 Vintage French Empire Style Gilt Brass Wall Sconces – Swan Motif – 3-Light Each – 1950s
A rare matching set of four vintage wall sconces in the Empire taste, finely cast in gilt brass and accented with a deep green patina. Each sconce is modeled with a swan with outstretched wings, the emblematic motif of Napoleonic design, rising from a green banded urn and crowned by an elegant palmette. Three sinuous scrolled arms extend from each sconce, ending in fluted tulip-form bobèches with classic faux-candle sleeves. Together, the four sconces give twelve lights, perfect for lighting a long hallway, a grand dining room, or a formal salon.
Circa 1950s, in the Empire revival tradition.
Dimensions (each sconces):
Height: 39 cm (15.4 in)
Width: 24 cm (9.4 in)
Depth: 12 cm (4.7 in)
Material: Cast gilt brass, dark green patina
Condition: Good vintage condition. In good working order.
Sockets: Each sconce is fitted with 3 European E14 sockets (12 in total for the set of four). US buyers may wish to use E14-compatible bulbs sourced locally, or have the sockets converted by an electrician if standard US E26/candelabra bulbs are preferred.
Wiring note: These fixtures are hardwired (no plug) and installed by an electrician, just like any chandelier or sconce. The European wiring works perfectly on US current — lower voltage means less strain, not more. Note: as with most vintage European lighting, they do not carry UL certification.
Sold as a set of four. Carefully packed and shipped from France. Message with any questions!
