Lucien Gau Solid bronze wall lamp Two-light directional 15672

A figurative wall light carved in the French decorative tradition

The 15672 wall light is one of Lucien Gau’s most iconic pieces, blending the strict elegance of the Directoire style with rare sculptural finesse. Crafted from solid bronze, it is distinguished by a central, draped female figure who gracefully holds two light arms in a noble gesture. This composition evokes the harmony of antique proportions, reinterpreted here as a functional work of art designed to enhance walls with elegance. Made in France, this creation is for those who value refined design and meaningful objects.

A luminous scene inspired by classical art

The finely modelled female figure supports the two light arms with balanced poise, instantly drawing the eye. Every detail, from the folds of the drapery to the tilt of the posture, reveals outstanding artisan skill. The sculpture echoes neoclassical statues of the Directoire period—when beauty, clarity, and form were once again at the heart of artistic expression. The two E14 bulbs softly highlight the sculpture’s contours without overpowering them, lending the piece a warm, artistic glow.

Balanced dimensions for subtle impact

Measuring 42 cm in height, 23 cm in width and projecting just 10 cm from the wall, this wall lamp adorns a surface without overcrowding it—even in narrower spaces. Ideal in a stairway, niche, vestibule or library, it works beautifully alone or in a mirrored pair. The dual light sources provide soft, even illumination, enhancing both atmosphere and surrounding décor.

Custom finishes for an elegant interior fit

Available in the full range of Lucien Gau’s traditional finishes—including antique gold, goldsmith patina, Byzantine bronzine and satin nickel—this model can be adapted to suit classic or bold design schemes. The candle sleeves, offered in linen, ivory or beige with droplets, provide an added layer of customisation. Each finish brings out a different facet of the sculpture, from sharp relief to depth and contour.

A wall feature between fine art and luminous design

By choosing the 15672 wall light, you bring more than just illumination into your home—you welcome a figurative work of art. It speaks of light, but also of history, form, and style. A timeless creation that transcends trends, crafted to endure and to be admired. True to the spirit of Lucien Gau, it embodies the perfect union between French decorative heritage and contemporary standards of excellence.
