Pair of wall sconces in wrought iron and wood, model Giglio a volute, handmade, from Italy, dating to 1960–1970, with depth 17 cm, width 38 cm and height 38 cm, weight 1.7 kg, in good used condition with minor signs of age, and in working order.
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.
