Pair of "Persane" Sconces

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.
