AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Imposing pair of wall sconces made of carved solid wood, decorated with crowned imperial eagles, a motif of great symbolic strength and classic aesthetic.

The pieces stand out for the quality of their carving, with wings spread, meticulously worked plumage, and elegant lower volutes, clearly evoking the Empire / Neoclassical style, which is highly present in representative interiors and palace decorations.

Each sconce features two removable candle arms, a practical feature that makes transportation and potential adaptation or electrification easier, always maintaining the integrity of the original piece.
