This gilt-bronze wall light, created by Robert Joseph Auguste between 1770 and 1780, is a stunning example of French Rococo style. The piece features a central female figure, possibly a nymph, with flowing drapery and ornate foliage. The design, characterized by its asymmetrical curves and exuberant ornamentation, is indicative of the Rococo aesthetic. This pair of sconces, now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, would have been a luxurious addition to any aristocratic home in the 18th century.
