Description from the seller

Elegant wall sconce in carved wood and gilded metal – Italy, first half of the 20th century

Fascinating wall light of Italian artisanal production, featuring a decorative composition of great elegance that combines natural materials with decorative finishes of classic taste.
The structure consists of a shaped solid wood base, finely worked and decorated with ornamental carvings in floral and geometric motifs, typical elements of Italian artisanal tradition. The wood carries a natural patina that testifies to the passage of time and helps confer a strong decorative character to the object.
From the center of the base extends a gilded metal arm, molded with a refined botanical branch motif, enriched by leaves and a large stylized flower. The end of the sconce terminates with a lamp holder shaped like a bud, also made of gilded metal, which houses a teardrop-shaped bulb, evoking the appearance of a flowering bloom.
The ensemble creates a scenographic and decorative object, perfectly suited to eclectic, classic, or country-chic interiors, but also as a contrasting element in contemporary environments.
This type of wall sconce, very common in Italian artisanal productions between the 1920s and 1940s, reflects the influence of naturalistic decorations typical of European decorative tradition and the romantic taste of the era.

The object is presented in good overall condition, with normal signs of aging consistent with its age and use.

A decorative piece of great charm, ideal for collectors or for those wishing to enrich an environment with an lighting element of strong artistic character.

Suitable packaging and traceable shipping throughout Europe.
