This beautiful piece, possibly dating from the Napoleon III period, in France. Shows wonderful detailing and sculpturing of the bronze design work, showing the Latin moto “NEC PLURIBUS IMPAR”. The sconce is in generally very good condition for its age. It has, however, at some point been sympathetically modified to accept electric cable. We, however, have left it in the condition in which it was sourced – to take candles. The bronze shows incredible patina and colouration, due to its age and makes a rare and magnificent statement piece on any wall.

Beautiful group of Three – triple candle bronze wall sconces – these date from circa last quarter of 19th century. Cast from bronze – they have fine scrolling arms – creating an open, less heavy appearance- pretty scalloped edge bobèche. These would make a fine feature on any wall and would create such a perfect light holding nine candles. Although these are as they would have originally been made – it would be feasible to adapt these to electric if required. 2 of the sconces have been wired at sometime, as they have holes in the candle holders to facilitate the wiring – the same two sconces also have a bar at the reverse in the centre with a screw end to affix to the wall – this would result in two projecting out further from the wall (see measurements and photos). Condition – Excellent antique condition – no damage – we have only lightly cleaned – if you wished to polish them to a bright golden shine – this would work. This is for three – Please do check the photos they do form an important part of the description. Combined weight unpacked 3 kilos. Measurements of sconce without fixing rod. Depth from wall 6.75/17cms. Height 5.75/14.5cms. Measurements of Pair with fixing rod. Depth from wall 9.25/23.5cms (not inc screw absorbed into the wall).

Antique French Brass Wall Mount Candle Holders by Adolphe Pequet Late 19 C Expandle Wall Mounts. Wow, very nice set of antique brass candle wall sconces. The candle sconces are quite eye catching. Would make a great gift for a special occasion, or keep them for yourself! The detailing on the brackets, and body of the candle holders is very well done. The candle holders were made by Adolphe Pequet in the late 19th century. We see no missing pieces, or cracks/repairs to them. There is some minor finish loss to the brass finish. The maker’s mark are on the inside of the brackets that mount to the wall. These were some finally made pieces. We did not attempt to clean the metal. We only wipe the product down to prepare it for photographing. Some folks like items with a patina, other folks like to clean them up to look like new. By leaving them as is, that leaves the presentation condition for the new owner to decide. The candle sconces are each 5.25″ tall, by 5.5″ across compressed, by 9-3/8 across fully extended. Let us know if you have any questions or need additional pictures. Make sure that this item meets your needs and requirements before deciding to acquire it.
