Item Description
The wall sconces are French Art Deco pieces with a frosted molded crystal shade, likely a model known as "les Roses," which was produced by Baccarat exclusively for the lighting company Hettier & Vincent around 1930. The sconces feature a beautiful floral and fruit motif in relief, characteristic of the Art Deco period's embrace of stylized nature themes. The frosted shades are cradled in brushed brass holders with a tapering form.
Baccarat systematically marked their creations from 1860 onward, using an engraving, a red label, or a laser-etched logo, but this specific shade model was often unsigned as it was an exclusive design for Hettier & Vincent.
Dimensions: 3 1/2 D x 9” W x 8 1/2" H
