AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A refined and elegant pair of two-light wall sconces in full, crafted in 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 garlands of laurel leaves, bows and intertwined ribbons that culminate in a refined drapery-like termination at the bottom. The two sinuous arms support lamp holders inserted inside bobeches decorated with acanthus leaves.
Excellent overall aesthetic condition. The original gilded patina shows the beautiful signs of time that enhance its authenticity. Present (electrical wires visible on the back). The electrical system is period-appropriate; a review before mounting is recommended to verify compliance and functionality.
Ideal for enriching prestigious living rooms, hallways, or bedrooms, these sconces provide warm illumination and an atmosphere of great elegance from bygone times.
H 33/ L 20/ D 10 cm
