An impressive Regency Revival gilt bronze three-light wall sconce featuring an extraordinary arrangement of classical and mythological figures. The central candle socket is supported by a draped classical female figure, while scrolling foliate arms terminate in winged female figures and dramatic griffin heads, creating a richly sculptural composition.
Mounted on a stained wood backplate, this substantial sconce is equally at home in a grand entry, library, dining room, or gallery wall. Every angle reveals finely cast ornament, from the twisted arms and scrolling foliage to the expressive figural details and fantastical creatures.
The gilt surface has developed a warm antique patina with age, enhancing the depth and character of the casting.
