AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Magnificent pair of high-quality wrought iron wall sconces, handcrafted following the guidelines of the eighteenth-century style. These pieces are a triumph of hand-forged craftsmanship, featuring elaborate C- and S-shaped volutes, adorned with stylized floral motifs and the classic Florentine lily symbol, an element of distinction and elegance.
The structure is sturdy yet visually light, with a twisted-work pattern along the central body and on the curved arms that hold the candle holders. The wooden lamp bases have been made with covers to resemble a candle (faux candles) in cream color, to maintain historical authenticity even with electrification. The lower terminals terminate in elegant forged scrolls.
These sconces are ideal for adding a touch of classic refinement and an atmosphere of bygone times to a living room, study, or prestigious hallway. Perfect for historic settings, but also as a strong contrast piece in modern and eclectic interiors.
Conditions:
Structure: Excellent vintage condition. The hand-forged wrought iron is perfectly solid, with stable joints and free of structural defects.
Surface: Stunning original patina of the era. Only a slight and natural surface oxidation is present, which enhances its authentic character.
Electrical components: The components have been replaced with new ones, always of the same era (thin double wire and wooden lamp holder) but new to ensure safety.
Dimensions: wall depth 18 cm, total weight 3.4 kg
Notes: The bulbs shown are for illustration purposes. The electrical system is visible and prepared for use. A rare piece for quality and integrity.
