AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Superb pair of old brass wall sconces, adorned with cut glass droplets.

These fixtures feature a charming floral composition at the top, extended by scroll arms and a delicate openwork crown forming a decorative gallery. This is complemented by a fringe of prismatic droplets that capture and diffuse the light with brilliance.

The metalwork, finely decorated and patinated by time, evokes European decorative productions from the early 20th century, between late Art Nouveau and early hints of Art Deco.

When lit, the prisms create beautiful light reflections and bring a warm, elegant atmosphere.

These sconces are superb decorative elements for a classic interior, a romantic decor, or a characterful space.

Condition:
Good overall condition with antique patina and light signs of use appropriate to age. A small decorative piece missing from the upper flower (see photos).

Electricity: present but not tested. To be updated to modern standards.
