A medium-sized mirror candle-sconce that reflects delightful and key elements of Swedish Grace; fine hand-crafted pewter and delicate filigree, with a lone fleur de lis resting high above the oval frame. The motif may give subtle hints at the tradition of French being the spoken language in the royal court of Sweden.
The long oval form is not as common as with other sconces of the period, making it quite unique. The pewter is used throughout as the encompassing frame and pins holding the silvered mirror in place. A curved candle holder raises a candlestick so the wax is level with the pewter bordering the mirror, almost acting as a silent arm. The mirroring adds another dimension to the flickering flame, perfectly illuminating a hallway or bedside.
This sconce can be made into a non-matching pair with this mirror.
The candle holder has been reattached to the mirror, yet very much in working condition.
