Cast Brass · Louis XV Rococo Vocabulary · 3-Light Wall Sconce
A 3-light wall sconce in the French Louis XV Rococo vocabulary that defined 18th-century court interiors and American Gilded Age dressing rooms — a chased brass back-plate carries cascading floral garlands of cast roses, foliage tendrils, and ribbon detail above three scrolled candle arms terminating in brass bobeches and exposed candelabra sockets. The lower terminus resolves in a Rococo cartouche with shell-and-leaf relief.
Drawn from the 18th-century French maisons de bronze wall-sconce tradition. Suited to formal dining-room flanking pairs, primary-suite dressing areas, powder rooms, primary-stair walls, library and study millwork, and luxury hotel-suite vignettes in 4,000+ sq ft estates and Federal, Greek Revival, Beaux-Arts, French Country, and Hollywood Regency historic-restoration projects.
Materials & Craft
Sand-Cast & Chased Brass
Solid brass back-plate, scrolled arms, and bobeches sand-cast and chased by hand — the technique of period French ciseleurs.
Cast Floral Garland
Cascading roses, foliage tendrils, and ribbon detail cast as integral relief — period-correct Rococo ornamental rhythm.
Three Open Candle Lights
Three scrolled arms terminating in brass bobeches and exposed candelabra sockets — period-correct candle-light reading.
Dimensions
3-Light · Single Standard Size
L 17.7″ × H 37.4″
L 45 × H 95 cm
Wall-mounted hardwired — install in flanking pairs for symmetry on either side of a fireplace, mirror, or dining sideboard. Order quantity 2 for paired installations.
Please Note — Hand-Chased Variation
Hand-chased brass — every sconce is unique. Casting detail, chasing depth, and gilt patina vary subtly piece to piece; your sconce will not match the photos at the detail level.

Installation
- Licensed electrician required. Hardwired wall-mount via supplied back-plate to a standard wall junction box.
- Center the sconce 60–66″ above the finished floor for general wall-mount installations; 72–80″ for stair walls; 18–24″ above a console or sideboard top.
- For flanking-pair installations on either side of a fireplace, mirror, or dining sideboard, space the centers 36–60″ apart depending on the focal element width — order quantity 2.
- Bulbs supplied by installer. Clear candle LEDs at 2700K — clear envelope reads best with the chased brass and Rococo cartouche detail.
- Care: dust with a soft dry cloth. Do not use ammonia, vinegar, or commercial brass polish — these dull the chased finish; for fingerprints, a microfiber cloth lightly dampened with distilled water.

FAQ
Where does this sconce work best? +
French Rococo wall sconces traditionally install in flanking pairs — on either side of a fireplace mantel, a sideboard mirror, a dining-room sideboard, or a primary-stair landing. Single-sconce placement also works above a powder-room mirror or beside a primary-suite dressing mirror. For paired installations, order quantity 2 and space the centers 36–60″ apart depending on the focal element width.
How high should I mount it? +
For general wall-mount installations, center the sconce 60–66″ above the finished floor. For stair walls, 72–80″. For installations above a console or sideboard, 18–24″ above the surface top. The sconce projects approximately 6″ (15 cm) from the wall — confirm clearance for paired symmetry on flanking installations.
Will my sconce match the photographs? +
The form and silhouette are made to consistent specification — your sconce will read identically in shape. The chased brass detail (cast roses, foliage tendrils, ribbon, and Rococo cartouche relief) carries hand-finishing variation: chasing depth, gilt patina, and surface character differ subtly between fixtures. Your sconce will sit within the same visual language as the photographs but will be visibly distinct under close inspection.
What bulbs should I use? +
3 × candelabra-base candle bulbs, supplied by your installer. We recommend clear-envelope candle LEDs at 2700K warm white, ≤ 25W incandescent-equivalent. Clear glass reads best against the chased brass and floral relief — frosted bulbs flatten the period-correct candle-light effect. For period-faithful flame effect, dimmable LED candelabra bulbs with flickering filament profile are widely available from US specialty retailers.
Is it dimmable? Lutron-compatible? +
Standard wiring is non-dimming. TRIAC-dimmable wiring is available as a custom build — please specify when contacting us. Compatible with Lutron Caséta, Diva, and forward-phase wall dimmers when paired with dimmable LED candelabra bulbs.
Custom finishes & trade? +
Custom builds: alternative finishes (antique brass, dark patinated bronze, French gilt with rubbed highlights, silver-plated brass) quotable on request. For project-quantity orders (matched flanking-pair installations across multiple rooms or hospitality projects), we coordinate matched gilt tone within batches. Hospitality-grade construction suits luxury hotel suites, members-club libraries, fine-dining restaurants, and historic-restoration projects. ETL listing available on request. Contact our trade desk at the earliest project stage.
