Pair of Claude Boeltz 24kt Gold Plated Exploded Bronze Sconces w/ Rock Crystals
Pair of Claude Boeltz 24kt Gold Plated Exploded Bronze Sconces w/ Rock Crystals
This stunning and sophisticated pair of modernist sconces were realized by the celebrated French artist Claude Boeltz. They feature graphic organic forms- recalling both oceanic and terrestrial forms from coral to tree branches- realized in exploded bronze that has been plated in pure 24 karat gold that surround a cluster of rock crystals in the center of each sconce. Straddling the line between baroque and organic, these sconces are truly unique (each piece produced by Boeltz was different) and inimitably hand crafted. Their ebullient color palate and sculptural forms make them as versatile as they are aesthetically captivating, blending perfectly with any style of interior from classic Mid Century Modern to contemporary. They feature two candelabra bulbs each, offering up to 120 watts per sconce or 240 watts for the pair. They have been newly rewired to American standards and are in excellent vintage condition.
