AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Pair of important two-flame wall sconces for candles, in carved wood with gold leaf, dating from the late 19th century.
The central body is characterized by an oval reserve that houses a refined miniature painting, executed in oil on panel, depicting a coastal landscape with leafy trees and classically-inspired architectures in the background.
The rich wooden structure echoes the ornamental repertoire of the Barocchetto and Rococo ( Revival Style): it is surmounted by an ostentatious asymmetrical shell-cornice (rocaille) from which a vertical development of large stylized acanthus leaves extends. In the lower part, the decoration closes with a foliate pendant end.
From the base of the oval radiate two curved arms in gilded metal, decorated with foliate elements in sheet metal, ending with bobeches molded like a floral corolla for housing the candles.
The appliques are in good condition, show signs of wear due to age since they are more than 100 years old.
