AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Pair of wall sconces in the Jugendstil/Deco style. Made of brass with a detachable walnut wood base. The sconces feature an organic and geometric design, typical of late Art Nouveau, with curved lines recalling vegetal or floral forms. The brass supports curve gracefully outward and are fastened to a carved wooden plaque with similar decorative motifs. Materials: The combination of brass and solid wood adds a rustic yet sophisticated touch. Lamps: They currently mount LED filament bulbs in Edison style, which complete the vintage industrial look of the ensemble.
The wood was particularly worm-eaten at the rear, and a specific treatment has been carried out.
The wall lamps work. The socket is E27. They can also be mounted without the wooden base.
