Pair of two antique carved wooden wall appliques with gold leaf in Baroque style, from Tuscany, Italy, dating to circa 1900, measuring 45×25×32 cm, in good used condition with minor age-related marks and not in working order, with a later electrical installation to be reviewed.

AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

An extraordinary and rare pair of large wall sconces in worked wood with gold leaf on three wide arms. Measurements: 45 x 25 x 32 cm.
These sconces are made of antique wood, dating from the late 19th to early 20th century, and have been perfectly preserved over the years.
There is only a trace of an old restoration on one of the three arms of one sconce.
They are striking and highly impressive in appearance given their height of 45 cm, but especially because of the reach of the three arms.
The gilding is in excellent condition and is present as shown in the photo, only on the front part as was done at the time.
Electrical wiring was added later and should be checked.
