Pair of 18th-century North German Louis XVI Sconces

Item Description & Information

A fine pair of late 18th-century North German Louis XVI wall lights (appliques / sconces) executed in carved and gilded wood. Each light features a pair of candle holders and is dramatically adorned with eagles — a striking neoclassical motif symbolising power and imperial elegance.

Of generous scale, the lights display the crisp carving and restrained neoclassical proportions typical of high-quality Schleswig-Holstein craftsmanship from the period. The gilded surfaces retain a warm, luminous patina that catches the light beautifully, making them highly decorative whether lit or unlit.

These elegant wall lights capture the pure Louis XVI spirit with their architectural form, classical ornament, and exceptional carved detail. Perfect for flanking a mirror, console table, or chimney piece in a formal interior, they bring instant grandeur and historical presence to a drawing room, hallway, or dining space.

Ideal for collectors and interior designers seeking authentic 18th-century Continental lighting of museum quality.

Measurements: 77 cm (30¼ inches) (H). Sold as a pair.
