A stunning pair of Art Nouveau copper wall sconces, featuring beautifully executed repoussé work with elegant maiden figures emerging in high relief from an intricately decorated background.
Dating to circa 1890–1910, these decorative copper pieces reflect the organic forms and flowing naturalistic style that defined the Art Nouveau movement. The sculptural female figures, refined detailing and warm copper tones demonstrate the craftsmanship and decorative ambition of the period.
Created using the traditional repoussé technique, where metal is shaped and raised from the reverse side to create relief decoration, these sconces showcase the skill and artistry of late 19th and early 20th century metalworkers.
Possibly of French or Belgian origin, these pieces combine functional design with sculptural beauty, making them equally suited as architectural accents, decorative wall elements or collectors’ pieces of Art Nouveau metalwork.
Presented with minor wear consistent with age.
