Set of 4 Maison Mottheau Antique French Belle Epoque Sconces Wall Appliques

Unavailable

Included here is a set of four, large matching sconces made by Mottheau & Fils of Paris, known of Maison Mottheau, circa 1890-1910s.  Each measures 33" tall, 21" wide and 12" deep (79 by 53 by 30 cm).  They feature steel and gilt metal frames and five candle arms, and new crystal beads, flower heads and faceted oval crystals, plus new rock crystal pendants.   Condition is very good.  There is some obvious oxidation and wear to the gilt surfaces, consistent with age. They have modern sockets and candle covers, but are in need of new wiring.  Mottheau was a leading bronzier operating in Paris from the last quarter of the nineteenth century and into the early twentieth century.  They cast works of fine and decorative art, and are especially known for their lighting designs.
