A pair of English gilt-bronze wall lights, in Louis XVI style, probably by Osler, after the model by Feuchère in Louis XVI style, 19th century

each with a ribbon-tied backplate in the form of a stylised fruit-filled cornucopia, supporting two scrolled candlearms hung with a fruiting and floral swag with winged cherub terms supporting a vine leaf and grape cast drip-pan and foliate cast candlenozzle on their heads, terminating in an acanthus leaf cast finial

Gilding less green and more golden and attractive than in the catalogue photograph. The wall lights are slightly dirty and would benefit from a light clean according to taste. The gilding is rubbed in places as visible from photograph. There has been several sections of resoldering to the scrolled candlearms and there are some casting cracks. An attractive model in overall good condition.
