AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Up for auction, a splendid pair of ancient electrified wall sconces richly decorated with 2 ram heads and decorative friezes.
The sconces are antique and have undergone restorations in the past as observed on the back.
They have not been cleaned and retain their patina of time and some oxidation.
The two zoomorphic heads are finely crafted and rich in sculptural details.
The gilding shows signs of age, but is very beautiful.
The screws are original; the electrical system should be checked as the bulb fittings are unequal.
It is also necessary to purchase the two glass lampshades, usually flower-shaped; many are available online, and colors recommended are ochre or sable.
These sconces, with a little love and patience, can become spectacular!!!!
Congratulations to the winner.
