The model of our sconces takes the creations of 18th century bronzers who were directly inspired by the drawings of Jean-Charles Delafosse in the 1760s. In particular, the collection of engravings entitled “Nouvelle iconologie historique, or Attributs hiéroglyphiques”, published in 1768, which gives models that present the same volutes then flanking a barrel as those forming the two arms of light of our sconces.
