Pair of three-light sconces (bras de lumière), ca. 1775, French, Paris, Gilt bronze, H. 11 1/2 x W. 19 1/2 x D. 12 1/2 in. (29.2 x 49.5 x 31.8 cm), Metalwork-Gilt Bronze, These wall lights are shaped with great naturalism to resemble lily stalks tied together with a large bow. They are not a proper pair, as their ribbons do not complement each other but flow in the same direction; therefore, they were most likely part of a larger set
