These wall sconces, which are in the Louis XVI style, probably date from the nineteenth century. They may have been made by Henri Dasson & Cie. (1825-1896) of Paris as they correspond to a pair advertised by Dasson in 1894. A related pair is in the collection of Waddesdon Manor in England, the country house of Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild.
