Pair of Scallop Shell Plaster Wall lights, English, 1960s

An elegant pair of English plaster wall lights dating from the 1960s, designed in the form of large scallop shells and inspired by an earlier George IV-period example. The deeply moulded shells feature pronounced ribbed detailing, with a central trail of decorative shells and foliage, supported by an elaborate acanthus-leaf base. Finished in an aged white plaster, the sculptural form is particularly effective when illuminated, casting a warm, indirect light upwards. Size: H25 cm x W28 cm x D28 cm Fittings: each light holds 1x large screw E27 bulb The lights are wired to the UK standard
