Pair of Gothic-style cast iron church wall sconces, model Iglesia, from Spain, in good used condition with minor signs of aging, measuring 37 cm high, 14 cm wide and 12 cm deep.
Description from the seller
This pair of candle wall sconces, forged in iron, retains all the expressive force and the monumental sobriety of Gothic language reinterpreted in an artisanal key. Each piece is articulated around a curved arm that supports the holder, protected by a small perforated conical screen with a geometric motif that lets light pass in controlled flashes, evoking the dim, ritual illumination of temples. The iron, worked by hammer, shows an irregular and vibrant surface, with forge marks that reveal the manual process and add authenticity and character.
The structure, solid and functional, maintains the verticality and architectural air typical of Gothic style: firm lines, restrained curves, and a design that seems inspired by the fittings of old rural churches. The dark patina, fruto del tiempo y del uso, accentuates the sense of antiquity and reinforces the almost liturgical presence of the pieces. The screens, with their conical shape and triangular openings, add a touch of medieval theatricality, projecting shadows that recall the flickering light of ecclesiastical candelabras.
The set conveys a mix of austerity and solemnity, very much typical of devotional and utilitarian objects from previous centuries, where function and spirituality intertwined in sturdy and durable pieces. They are sconces that keep intact their sacred character and their value as fragments of religious architecture brought into the decorative realm.
Certified shipping and good packaging.
