Pair of 18th C. French Louis XVI Period Patinated and Dore Bronze Vases/Lamps

Description

An Incredible Pair of Antique French Louis XVI Period Patinated and Dore Bronze Vases Turned to Lamps on Rouge Marble Bases. The lamps feature an urn-shaped body with an intricate bronze frieze. The relief shows a scene of infant angels engaging with their earthly affects—some are playing instruments, others eating, all enjoying their leisure. The bases are hand-carved from the finest quality rouge marble. Each one is further hand-polished and immaculate in quality. The body of the lamps are further adorned with incredible burnished ormolu handles, each hand-chased with the finest 18th C. hand-worked quality. During the French Empire, Louis XVI popularized the ornate detailing and stately presence emulated by these lamps. Originally inspired by the furnishings of the palace at Versailles, these lamps reference the sumptuous and ostentatious taste of Neoclassical France. Height of electrical parts can be adjusted to any height desired. France, Circa: 1795 Overall Height with Electrical Fitting: 31.5 inches Height of Vases Only: 18.5 inches
