Pair of sconces in gilded metal made of three curved tubular stems, the central one being taller. These stems emerge from a metal hemisphere edged with a band at the top, which conceals the electrical outlet.

The golden patina has been restored to the highest standards to restore its subtle lustre. The lampshades have been remade to match the original design.

Those sconces come from an important collection of Jean Royère begun in 1948 in Lebanon through Nadim Majdalani. 

There were numerous pieces by Jean Royère in the Ms. F.’s collection, to which this pair of sconces belonged originally. We know that their collaboration began through Nadim Majdalani as early as 1948. Then, the colletion was completed over the years.

The ‘‘Persane’’ series is closely linked to the designer’s travels to the Middle East. He drew on oriental forms in a subtle, refined and elegant way, in the spirit of his work. This model epitomises his signature sophistication.

The stem of this lamp is composed of a single undulating tube in black-patinated wrought iron, interspersed with polished bronze spheres alternating between the upper and lower sections. A circular metal plate, painted in its original black finish, tops the stem and supports a central rod holding the lampshade (not original). The whole rests on a square base of black marble.

This lamp model is well documented in Jean Royère’s archives preserved at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, as well as in period publications. It is notably visible on a coffee table in Jean Royère’s own apartment on rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, Paris, in a series of photographs dated 1946.
