AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
pair of antique wall brackets (or sconces), created in the Italian Baroque or Continental style. They were conceived from hand-carved rectangular wooden decorative panels, with polychrome finish in aged red and gold tones (giltwood).
Historical and design features:
Origin and Era: This type of gilded and polychromed carving work traces back to the designs of the 18th and 19th centuries in Italy and France. Many of these pieces were originally fragments of church or palatial panels that were later adapted for wall lighting.
Baroque Ornamentation: The carving features the classic volutes, rinceaux, and spiral foliage, typical of the drama and opulence of the Baroque period.
Light arms: Each sconce has a structure in gold-tone metal or bronze that extends to support two lights.
Hidden electrification: The aged-looking faux candles with dripping wax function as decorative caps to conceal modern electrical sockets.
Average approximate dimensions suspended - 30*20*2 cm
