Pair Large French Louis XVI Gilt Bronze Wall Plaques – Military & Science Trophies – Ebonized Panels – Neoclassical Ormolu

Description


Exceptional Pair of Antique French Louis XVI-Style Gilt Bronze Wall Appliqués

Mounted on shaped, ebonized wood panels, this large and heavy pair of gilt bronze plaques features exquisitely cast neoclassical trophy motifs in the finest Belle Époque tradition. These architectural wall appliqués date to the late 19th to early 20th century and showcase a level of detailing and balance consistent with high-end Parisian decorative arts.


One plaque depicts a martial trophy with cannon, flags, swords, drum, and axe—symbols of valor, honor, and conquest. The other features a scientific trophy with a globe, sextant, scrolls, and telescope—referencing discovery, knowledge, and exploration. Both compositions are entwined with classical oak leaf garlands and finished in rich fire-gilded bronze (ormolu).


These are substantial and impactful statement pieces suitable for interior designers, collectors, or high-end residential decor.
