Pair of Louis XVI Style Three-Light Quiver Gilt-Bronze Sconce, attr. H. Vian

About the Item

Pair of Louis XVI Style Three-Light Gilt-Bronze Sconce, attributed to H. Vian A pair of Louis XVI style three-light and quiver-shaped wall-lights, each issuing three arms from a finely chased backplate displaying twisted channeling of beautiful quality. The scrolled candle arms draped with swags of flowers and leaves. Henry Vian (1860-1905) was a Parisian bronzier specializing in the production of bronzes in the eighteenth century style of great quality. Such was the quality of his work that his casting and gilding can often be mistaken for earlier eighteenth century works of art. He participated in the Great Exhibitions of 1878, 1889 and 1900, receiving a Gold Medal in 1889.
