About the Item
This regal and ornate Pair of Neoclassical Torch Sconces in Frosted Glass and antique brass originates from France during the latter half of the 20th Century. Featuring frosted glass shades reminiscent of torch flames, supported by a handle like element of polished brass which beautifully angles downwards, adorned with spiral fluted detailing and a multiplicity of tiers and elements allowing for prolonged viewing and appreciation. The backplates are stunning as well, with floral detailing expanding and vertically placed detailing that mirrors the movement of the eyes upwards and downwards along with the shades of the sconces. Highly neoclassical and a timeless form, these sconces will pair beautifully in a wide array of spaces and settings, from Neoclassical to Hollywood Regency and Contemporary Interiors. Newly rewired to American Standards, and in Excellent Vintage Condition.

- Neoclassical Alabaster Torch SconcesLocated in New York, NYThese pure white sconces sit upon torch like bases, illuminating the room in the fusion of classical and romantic forms, typical of the neoclassical period. Alabaster lighting was the first used electrical lighting in Europe, prized for its ability to softly diffuse light. As mentioned above, the Neo-Renaissance style was in reality an eclectic blending of past styles, which the architect selected on the whims of his patrons. In the true Renaissance era there was a division of labour between the architect, who designed the exterior highly visible shell, and others—the artisans—who decorated and arranged the interior. The original Italian mannerist house was a place for relaxation and entertaining, convenience and comfort of the interior being a priority; in the later Baroque designs, comfort and interior design were secondary to outward appearance. This was followed by the Neoclassical period, which gave importance to the proportions and dignity of interiors, but still lost the comfort and internal convenience of the mannerist period. It was during the Neo-Renaissance period of the 19th century that the mannerist comforts were re-discovered and taken a step further. Not only did the improved building techniques of the 1850s allow the glazing of formerly open loggias and arches with the newly invented sheets of plate glass, providing the first "picture windows", but also the blending of architectural styles allowed interiors and exteriors to be treated differently.
