Jules Leleu

This charming pair of gilt-metal sconces, designed in 1947, but executed some time in the 1950s, are of a delicate filigreed design reminiscent of script and possess two symmetrical, cross-over arms that extend from the fixtures' centers like smoke twisting gently from a flame. These pieces nevertheless evoke a more traditional notion of French decoration.

Stamped and numbered.
