Antique 22 French Bronze Ormalu FIGURAL Pair Wall Sconces ARCHITECTURAL DECOR

Antique French bronze dore (gold gilt). 22 5/8 inches tall & approx.

6 3/4 inches at widest point. Not sure what they were meant for but they have a cup or a holder of some sort which is open from the back. The beautiful leaves that make up the cup also has a space in the front, so you can't put water in it. The design is just phenomenal, with lots of scrolls, flowers, garlands, a vase to the top and a stylized fleur de lis right at top.

Above the "cup" is a beautifully casted face with great details to his hair and facial features. The "cup" is attached to the back plate by two nuts or screws. There is a pencil mark on the back of one of the pieces that reads "left".

They could possibly have been ornaments for the sides of a fireplace or just architectural ornaments. But you the collector would know more! Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. They were acquired in France approx. 30 years ago by a collector of French antiques. Please message if you require more pictures of certain areas.
