Description from the seller
Elegant pair of Maria Theresa-style wall sconces – gold-tone metal and crystals
A refined pair of three-light wall sconces (each), a masterful example of art lighting inspired by the Maria Theresa style. These pieces fuse the opulence of gilded metal with the lightness of crystal, creating a play of reflections ideal for enriching salons, corridors, or prestigious bedrooms.
Made of an alloy with high-quality gold plating, featuring a finely crafted central perforated band.
Each wall sconce is richly adorned with:
Drop pendants with pointed tips at the bottom and upper portions that are rounded and faceted, refracting light spectacularly.
Chains of crystal octagons linking the upper crown to the central body.
Bobeches (candlestick plates) in ribbed glass.
Three sinuous arms ending in candle-shaped lamp holders, topped by a decorative crest with curved pointed tips and additional pendants.
Condition
The lamps are in excellent cosmetic condition. The crystals are intact and the gilding retains its original brilliance. The electrical system is present and compatible with bulbs (not included) with an E14 socket.
Perfectly functional
Dimensions:
Height 39 cm
Width 39 cm
depth from the walls: 24 cm
Pointed drop earrings with a small rosebud, 10 cm
