Each features a seated child, one a boy and the other a girl, arranged as a symmetrical pair and modeled in dark-patinated bronze against elaborate gilt-bronze frameworks of sweeping rocaille scrolls, flowers, and leafy branches. The contrast between the two patinas gives the figures particular definition against the richly worked ornament, while the quality of the chasing is evident throughout, especially in the crisp foliage and delicately modeled details. The original andirons have been sensitively adapted with tall lamp fittings, providing the structure needed for electrification while preserving their sculptural character. They are currently unelectrified and would require wiring by a professional before use. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e Their appeal lies in the combination of exuberant Louis XV ornament and the charm of the paired figures, whose subtle differences make the two lamps especially engaging when seen together. The generous scale and intricate gilded bronze give them considerable presence on a pair of consoles, substantial bedside tables, or at either end of a long sideboard, while the dark figures temper the richness of the rocaille decoration. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e  Lean into full Rococo drama by topping them with deeply saturated silk velvet shades finished with heavy bullion fringe for an opulent, over-the-top theatrical presence.
