AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A refined and elegant pair of two-light wall sconces in full bronze, finely chased and gilded toward the end of the 19th century in Italy.
The central structure is richly decorated with neoclassical motifs typical of the period: elegant laurel leaf garlands, tassels and braided ribbons that culminate in a refined faux-drapery finish at the bottom. The two sinuous arms support lamp holders set inside bobeches decorated with acanthus leaves.
Excellent overall aesthetic condition. The original gold patina shows beautiful signs of time that enhance its authenticity. Present (electrical wires visible on the back). The electrical system is period; a service check before mounting is advised to verify conformity and functionality.
Ideal for enriching prestigious salons, hallways, or bedrooms, these sconces provide warm illumination and an atmosphere of great, old-time elegance.
