Superb pair of French Art Deco wall sconces in richly cast and gilt bronze, composed of a deeply fluted, shield‑shaped backplate framed by an abundant garland of flowers and foliage in high relief, characteristic of the luxurious decorative vocabulary of Süe et Mare. Each sconce supports a substantial, hemispherical alabaster shade, the softly veined stone diffusing the light with a warm, atmospheric glow ideal for a salon, entry or dining room setting.
The bronze retains a beautiful, hand‑finished patina that accentuates the crisp modeling of the floral motifs and vertical flutes, while the alabaster bowls present attractive natural veining and a gentle ivory tone. The pair has been newly wired for contemporary use (European standards; easily adaptable), and is ready for installation; each sconce mounts directly to the wall and provides elegant up‑lighting that frames artwork particularly well, as shown in situ.
Attributed by style to the celebrated Art Deco designers Louis Süe and André Mare, these sconces exemplify their synthesis of classical inspiration, floral opulence and modern geometry. A refined choice for collectors of French Art Deco lighting and for interiors seeking a sophisticated, sculptural wall presence.
