Pair of Louis XVI style ormolu sconces with child musicians late 19th century
An elegant and decorative pair of Louis XVI-style three-light sconces in finely chiseled and gilded bronze, decorated with busts of child musicians blowing fifes, intertwined acanthus leaves, foliage scrolls, thyrses scrolls and quiver-like shafts.
Beyond the differences and interpretation, these sconces are stylistically close to the model supplied by Jean Hauré in 1787 for the Château de Saint-Cloud, a copy of which is in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
Beautiful French work from the late 19th century.
