Description from the seller

Important pair of antique baroque wall sconces in carved wood with gold leaf finish, datable to 18th century (circa 1780).

Refined and important pair of wall appliques for the wall in finely carved and gold-leafed wood, expression of the high Italian decorative mastery of the 18th century.

The heavily decorated front and side structure is characterized by an elegant vertical development with rich foliate motifs deeply carved, typical of mature Baroque taste.

The volutes and central ribs create a refined play of light and shadow, enhanced by the antique gilding that preserves a noble patina of the past, bearing old restorations, woodworm treatment, and touch-ups of gilding.

The portals faithfully recall the rusticity and aesthetics of a time gone by.

Ancient woodworm holes are evident; the brackets have been restored for better wall grip.

These shelves are splendid.

Dimensions: 31 cm tall including the lamp holders; without: 21 cm x 12 cm.
