 | |  |  |  | Published since: January 5, 2010 Last update: May 25, 2010 |
A pair of gilt bronze sconces finely chiseled with two light branches decorated with acanthus leaves and upholt by a couple of dolphins. The stem is cambered and decorated with dolphins'scales in his central part, with a palmette ornamentation coming out vertically from it.
This pair of gilt bronze sconce is decorated using the technique of ormolu.
The gold have to be reduced to powder on a broken stone and amalgamated with mercury, this is a process thats is easier than the gold leaf.
