Description from the seller
Magnificent pair of important four-light electrified wall sconces, handmade and extremely refined, distinguished by a very rich decoration in gilded bronze.
Both sconces represent a flaming torch adorned by a central side round corona with a foliage motif.
The workmanship is French Empire.
These sconces stand out for their rich symbolic decoration, at the center a flaming torch emblem, a classic and ancient symbol of light, knowledge and eternity, framed by a splendid vegetal corona finely chased.
The composition of the sconces is further enriched by neoclassical ornamental motifs, leaves, ribbons, geometric details, typical symbols of imperial aesthetics.
Decorative pieces with strong visual impact, ideal for enriching sophisticated settings such as salons and important entrances, or professional studies.
Congratulations to the winner of this auction!
