A pair of gilt-bronze wall lights early Louis XV, circa 1735

each with a backplate cast with flowers, scrolls, foliage and rocaille issuing two acanthus cast candlearms, one with the drip-pan cast as a sunflower and the nozzle cast with oak leaves, the other with an acanthus cast drip-pan and nozzle   

In overall very good condition. Attractive model and size, Very nice detail to casting. They are a little dirty and would benefit from a light clean according to taste. There is a very minor hole in the backplate of one but this is hardly noticeable. On the same one there is some verde gris which can be cleaned off. Some very minor casting flaws which is normal and do not detract from the piece.
